For a field trip to the North Pole, 12 students rode in cars and the rest filled six buses. How many students were in each bus if 342 students were on the trip?I don't know how to solve in a 2 step equation

Respuesta :

Answer:

55 students

Explanation:

Let the number of students on each bus = x

• The number of students in the 6 buses = 6x

,

• The number of students that rode in cars = 12

If 342 students were on the trip, then:

[tex]6x+12=342[/tex]

We solve for x.

[tex]\begin{gathered} 6x=342-12 \\ 6x=330 \\ x=\frac{330}{6} \\ x=55 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The number of students on each bus was 55.
