Question

The total number of students in the seventh grade is 9 more than 4 times as many students as are in the art class. There are 101 students in the seventh grade. Write and solve an equation to find the number of students in the art class. Let x represent the number of students in the art class.

Answer 1

9 + 4x = 101

Explanation:

9 + 4x = 101 Equation

( +9 - 9 ) + 4x = ( 101 - 9 ) Subract 9 on both sides

4x = 92 Simplify

x = 23 Divide 4 on both sides
