Question

Kevin and monica lead visitor tours at a museum. Last month, both kevin and monica led the same number of vistors. Kevin lead 150 adults, plus 6 student groups. Monica led 134 adults, plus 8 student groups. If each student group had the same number of students, which equation could be used to determine the number of students in each group?

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of students in each group = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

kevin and monica led the same number of vistors.

Let x = number of students in each group

Kevin lead 150 adults, plus 6 student groups.

150 + 6x

Monica led 134 adults, plus 8 student groups.

134 + 8x

Equate both equations

150 + 6x = 134 + 8x

Collect like terms

150 - 134 = 8x - 6x

16 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2

x = 16 / 2

= 8

x = 8

Number of students in each group = 8
