Question

Answer 1

x+11x=60

12x=60

x=5

5×11=55

Chelsea has 55 brushes

Answer 2

Answer: 55 brushes.

Explanation:

Let x represents the number of art brushes Monique has.

Then, Number of brushes Chelsea has = 11x .

If they have 60 art brushes altogether, the we have the following equation :-

`x+11x=60\\\\\Rightarrow\ 12x=60`

Divide both sides by 12 , we get

`x=5`

Then, Number of brushes Monique has = 5

Number of brushes Chelsea has = 11(5)=55
