A number divided by 14 is 6. Find the number. Use a let statement. Write the equation.
Let x = number divided so
X= 14/6
X= 2.33
Nope.
Let x = number divided
x/14 = 6
x = 14 * 6
x = 84
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let's check that.
84 / 14 = 6
Thanku!!!
Would u mind checking this one too please?
Game tickets for 1 adult and 2 kids is $21. The adult ticket is $3 more than the kid ticket.
How much does adult ticket cost?
How much does a child ticket cost?
Use a let statement. Write an equation.
Let x = cost of ticket so
X + x + x + 3 = 21
3x = 21-3
3x = 18
x = 18/3
x =$6 child ticket
6+3 = $9 adult ticket
Right!
Yay!!! Thank you!!!!!!
:-) You're welcome.
To solve this problem, let's set up a let statement.
Let x be the number we are trying to find.
The problem states that when x is divided by 14, the result is 6. So, we can write the equation as:
x / 14 = 6
To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 14 to isolate x:
(x / 14) * 14 = 6 * 14
This simplifies to:
x = 6 * 14
Now we can perform the multiplication on the right side:
x = 84
Therefore, the number we are looking for is 84.
