Question

Cody won 64 super bouncy balls playing hoops at the county fair. At school he gave three to every student in his math class. He only has 7 remaining. How many students are in his class ?
need algebraic equation too

Answer 1

Let x = # of students
Equation: 64 - 3x = 7
Subtract 64 from both sides
-3x = -57
Divide both sides by -3
x = 19

There are 19 students in his class.
