There are 272 students in a school and there are 7 classrooms in total. If one classroom has 8 students and the rest of the classrooms have the same number of students, how many
students are there in each of the remaining 6 classrooms? Write and solve a two-step
equation to answer the question.

6x + 8 = 272

44 students in each of the remaining 6 classrooms

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 7 classrooms.

1 classroom has 8 students.

The remining 6 classrooms have the same number of students each.

Let the number of students in each of the 6 classrooms be x.

In all 6 classrooms combined, there are 6x students.

Now add the 8 students of the 7th classroom.

The total number of students in all 7 classrooms is 6x + 8.

We are told there are 272 students in total, so we get the following equation.

6x + 8 = 272

Now we solve the equation.

Subtract 8 from both sides.

6x + 8 - 8 = 272 - 8

6x = 264

Divide both sides by 6.

6x/6 = 264/6

x = 44

There are 44 students in each of the 6 classrooms.

answer: input the dimensions of the room to be painted. click the button to calculate the amount of paint and man-hours needed for this job.

interior paint coverage depends on the brand of paint used. the coverage amount is listed on the label of the paint can. use this to adjust the values in the paint coverage section below. paint usually is applied at 350 to 400 square feet per gallon (primer at 200 to 300 square feet per gallon).
