Question

Can somebody please help answer this word problem and (SHOW YOUR WORK) also add a “let x” statement thanks!!

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!! :DDD

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let x= number of students in bus

6bus with unknown number of students in bus: 6*x

127= 6x+7

127-7= 6x

6x= 120

x= 120/6

x= 20

Answer 2

Answer:

The number of students in the bus is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of students = 127

Number of students traveled through cars = 7

Number of buses = 6

Solution:

Let no. of students be in the bus be x.

Then the number of students in the bus:

• 6•x = 6x

This is quite apparent that

• Number of students in the bus + no. of students in cars = Number of eight grade students

Plugging values,

• 6x+7 =127

Solving for x,

• 6x = 127-7
• 6x = 120
• x = 120/6
• x = 20

We can conclude:

Hence the number of students in the bus is 20.
