Question

A college has two classrooms of students.

Classroom A had 70 students.
Classroom B had 30 students.
Classroom A sent groups of 4 students to Classroom B until both classrooms had the same number of students.
The equation shown can be used to find the number of groups that Classroom A sent to Classroom B so each classroom had the same number of students.

70 minus 4 x equals 30 plus 4 x

How many students are in each group?

Answer 1

To find the number of students in each group, we can solve the equation:

70 - 4x = 30 + 4x

First, let's simplify the equation:

40 = 8x

Now, let's solve for x:

x = 40/8 = 5

Therefore, there are 5 students in each group.
