Question

344 students went on a school field trip to the science museum. 6 buses were filled with students, and 8 students rode in a van. Which equation, when solved for x, gives the number of students on each bus?
A) 6x + 344 = 8
B) 6x − 344 = 8
C) 6x + 8 = 344
D) 6x − 8 = 344

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: let x be the number of students in each bus.

The following equation represents the problem:

6x+8=331.

Thus, solving for x, we get

6x= 324

Thus, 54 students travelled in each bus. :)
