PLEASE HELP ME!!!

More than 450 students went on a field trip. Ten buses were filled and 5 more students traveled in a car.

x= number of students on each bus.

10x+5=450
10 is the number of buses and x is the number of students in each buss and the 5 is students traveling in a car

so you subtract 5 to get
10x=445
you get 44 1/2
now you round.

So there were 45 students on each bus at minimum

Hope this helps
