Question

There were 73 runners from 2 schools on a combined track team. If 31 were
from Edison Elementary, how many were from Lincoln Elementary? Write and
solve an algebraic equation.

Answer 1

Answer:

s=(73-31)

31+s=73

s= 42

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to get an exact count of the Lincoln Elementary students you just have to subtract 31 from 73 to get 42 students. Therefore we get s to represent the Lincoln students, so the equation would be 31+s=73.
