A group of 5 friends each have x action figures in their collections. Each friend buys 6 more action figures. Now the 5 friends have a total of 150 action figures. How many action figures did each friend start​ with?

Sagot :

Answer:

29

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem is 5x + 6 = 150

I subtract 6 from each sides except the one with the variable.

6 - 6 = 0 and 150 - 6 = 144.

Then I bring 5x down.

Then I divided 5x with 5 and 144 with 5.

I got 28.8 for x, which means the friends had 28.8 action figures each.

And I don't think it would be possible for them to have 28.8 action figures, so you round to a whole number which would give you the answer 29.

I think I that makes sense.
