An artist paints t shirts. It takes 15 mins to set up and 40 mins to clean up. Once it is set up it takes the artist 12 mins to paint the shirt.
What would an equation be for how many shirts he makes in 127 mins?

15+12x+40 = 127
15+12x+40=127
15+40+12x=127 rearrange add 15+40
55+12x=127
-55 -55 Subtract 55 from both sides
12x= 72
12 12 divide by 12
x = 6 shirts in 127 mins
15+40+12x=127 rearrange add 15+40
55+12x=127
-55 -55 Subtract 55 from both sides
12x= 72
12 12 divide by 12
x = 6 shirts in 127 mins
