Question

A window cleaner has enough supplies to clean 21 windows per office building on a certain number of buildings they can also clean the windows of a school with 42 windows altogether there are enough supplies to clean 126 windows how many office buildings can be washed identify the equation that would be used to solve this problem algebraicly

Answer 1

Let's say the number of office buildings is 'x'. Therefore, each office building has 21 windows, and the total number of windows in the office buildings is 21x. The number of windows in the school is given as 42.

The equation that can be used to solve the problem algebraically is:
21x + 42 = 126

Here, 21x represents the number of windows in the office buildings, and 42 represents the number of windows in the school.
