Several students joined a radio-controlled model club. some had boats, some had airplanes, and some had cars. they divided into three equal groups according to which radio-controlled model each had. another 10 students joined the radio-controlled airplane group. there are now 15 students in this group. how many students joined the radio-controlled model club in the beginning?

15 students joined the radio-controlled model club

Step-by-step explanation:

The students joining the  radio-controlled model club were divided into three equal groups i.e

a) Radio-controlled boat group

b) Radio-controlled car group

c) Radio-controlled airplane group

10 new students joined the Radio-controlled airplane group  and the new sum of students in this group is 15.

This implies that there were 5 students in Radio-controlled airplane group  before the joining of 10 new students.

In the starting, the three groups have equal number of students which means that Radio-controlled boat group, Radio-controlled car group, Radio-controlled airplane group  have 5 students in each group. Thus, In the beginning there were total 15 students who joined the radio-controlled model club

5 pm

step-by-step explanation:

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
