there are 28 in our class. one day there were 6 times as many present as there were absent.

Question

how many were present?
how many were absent?
how can i make this questions

Answer 1

number present: x
number absent : 28-x

x = 28-x + 6
2x = 34
x = 17

so present = 17, absent = 11

Answer 2

NO.......
"there were 6 times as many present as there were absent"
number of absent ---- x
number of present ---- 6x

x+6x = 28
7x=28
x = 4

So 4 were absent, and 24 were present.
