Easy question the same number of guests are seated at each of 12 large tables. there are 2 guests seated at one small table. write an equation to represent the total number of guests t and the number of people x at each large table. if there are 122 guests, how many are seated at each large table?

An equation to represent this would be 12x+2=T.

x=10 people per large table.

If T=122 then we just have to isolate x on one side of the equation. The first step is to replace T with 120 and then subtract 2 on both sides (to cancel the +2) to get 12x=120. Cancel the 12 by dividing both sides by 12 to get x=10. The number of people seated at each large table would be 10. Hopefully I explained this correctly and helped you understand.
