For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.

We have then:

x: number of hours

y: amount of movie posters

The equation modeling the problem for this case is given by:


y = 230x

Therefore, for 1265 posters we have:


230x = 1265

From here, we clear the number of hours.

We have then:


x = (1265)/(230)


x = 5.5

Answer:

an equation to find the number of hours it takes the machine to print 1265 posters is:


y = 230x

The number of hours is:


x = 5.5
