Question

1
a total of 250 students are going on a field trip.
10 students rode in cars and 6 buses were filled equally.
how many students were on each bus?
$250x + 10 = 6$
$250x + 10 = 6$
$250 - 1$
$250x + 10 = 6$
$x = 0.016$

Explanation:

Step1: Define variable & set equation

Let $x$ = students per bus. Total students: $6x + 10 = 250$

Step2: Isolate the term with $x$

Subtract 10 from both sides: $6x = 250 - 10$
$6x = 240$

Step3: Solve for $x$

Divide by 6: $x = \frac{240}{6}$

Answer:

40
