Johan practices the drums for 45 minutes on Saturday and 25 minutes on most weekdays. Last week he practiced 120 minutes. How many weekdays did he practice? Write an equation in the form of px + q = r to represent this problem.(3 points)

5 answers

Let x be the number of weekdays Johan practiced.
Johan practiced for 25*x minutes on weekdays.
Johan practiced for 45 minutes on Saturday.
Johan practiced for 25*x + 45 = 120 minutes.
25*x = 120 - 45
25*x = 75
x = <<3=3>>3.
Johan practiced on 3 weekdays. Answer: \boxed{3}.

Let x be the number of students in Jack's math class.

Jack gave 4 lollipop to each student in his math class, so he gave away a total of 4x lollipops.

He started with 65 lollipops and gave away 4x lollipops, leaving him with 1 lollipop.

Therefore, the equation representing this problem is:
65 - 4x = 1

Simplifying this equation, we get:
-4x = -64
Dividing both sides by -4, we get:
x = 16

Therefore, there are 16 students in Jack's math class.

Of course! I'd be happy to answer your question.

To find the number of students in Jack's class, we can set up an equation. Let x represent the number of students in his math class.

Jack gave away 4 lollipops to each student in his math class, so the total number of lollipops given away is 4x.

We know that Jack started with 65 lollipops and ended up with 1 remaining.

Setting up the equation, we have:

65 - 4x = 1

To solve for x, we can subtract 1 from both sides:

65 - 1 - 4x = 1 - 1

Simplifying, we have:

64 - 4x = 0

Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by 4:

(64 - 4x) / 4 = 0 / 4

Simplifying further, we have:

16 - x = 0

To solve for x, we can subtract 16 from both sides:

16 - 16 - x = 0 - 16

Simplifying, we have:

-x = -16

Finally, multiplying both sides by -1 to isolate x, we have:

x = 16

Therefore, there are 16 students in Jack's math class.
