The correct answer is 10. Daisy has 6 more than three times as many seashells as Lucy, so we can set up the equation 3x + 6 = 36, where x is the number of seashells Lucy has. We can then solve for x:
3x + 6 = 36
3x = 30
x = 10
Lucy has 10 seashells.
Daisy has 6 more than three times as many seashells as Lucy. Daisy has 36 seashells. How many does Lucy have?(1 point)

To solve the equation 2/5c + 5 = 95, we can start by subtracting 5 from both sides of the equation:
2/5c + 5 - 5 = 95 - 5
This simplifies to:
2/5c = 90
Next, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 5 to eliminate the fraction:
5 * (2/5c) = 5 * 90
This simplifies to:
2c = 450
Finally, we can solve for c by dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
(2c) / 2 = 450 / 2
This simplifies to:
c = 225
Therefore, the value of c that satisfies the equation is 225.
2/5c + 5 - 5 = 95 - 5
This simplifies to:
2/5c = 90
Next, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 5 to eliminate the fraction:
5 * (2/5c) = 5 * 90
This simplifies to:
2c = 450
Finally, we can solve for c by dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
(2c) / 2 = 450 / 2
This simplifies to:
c = 225
Therefore, the value of c that satisfies the equation is 225.

To solve for n in the equation 13 - 2n = -109, we can start by isolating the variable n on one side of the equation.
First, we can subtract 13 from both sides of the equation:
13 - 13 - 2n = -109 - 13
-2n = -122
Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by -2 to solve for n:
-2n / -2 = -122 / -2
n = 61
Therefore, the value of n that makes the equation true is 61.
First, we can subtract 13 from both sides of the equation:
13 - 13 - 2n = -109 - 13
-2n = -122
Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by -2 to solve for n:
-2n / -2 = -122 / -2
n = 61
Therefore, the value of n that makes the equation true is 61.

To find out how many students were on each bus, we can subtract the number of students who rode in cars from the total number of students who went on the field trip.
Total number of students who went on the field trip = 300
Number of students who rode in cars = 12
Total number of students on buses = Total number of students - Number of students who rode in cars
= 300 - 12
= 288
We know that there were 6 buses that were filled. To find out how many students were on each bus, we can divide the total number of students on buses by the number of buses:
Number of students on each bus = Total number of students on buses / Number of buses
= 288 / 6
= 48
Therefore, there were 48 students on each bus.
Total number of students who went on the field trip = 300
Number of students who rode in cars = 12
Total number of students on buses = Total number of students - Number of students who rode in cars
= 300 - 12
= 288
We know that there were 6 buses that were filled. To find out how many students were on each bus, we can divide the total number of students on buses by the number of buses:
Number of students on each bus = Total number of students on buses / Number of buses
= 288 / 6
= 48
Therefore, there were 48 students on each bus.

To find out how many miles Clara biked last week, we can set up an equation based on the given information.
Let's say the number of miles Clara biked last week is represented by the variable "x".
According to the problem, Clara wants to bike 112 miles this week, which is 20 miles less than 2 times the number of miles she biked last week. We can write this as:
2x - 20 = 112
To solve for x, we can isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by adding 20 to both sides:
2x - 20 + 20 = 112 + 20
This simplifies to:
2x = 132
Now, to find the value of x (the number of miles she biked last week), we divide both sides of the equation by 2:
2x / 2 = 132 / 2
This simplifies to:
x = 66
Therefore, Clara biked 66 miles last week.

This simplifies to:

Now, to find the value of x (the number of miles she biked last week), we divide both sides of the equation by 2:
2x / 2 = 132 / 2
This simplifies to:
x = 66
Therefore, Clara biked 66 miles last week.
