The teacher bought new crayons for her class. She bought 7 packs of 9 crayons. She already has 17 crayons in her classroom. She wants to divide the crayons evenly between her 10 students. How many crayons will each student receive? Use c as the variable. Write an equation and solve the problem.

idk if it's ok but

((7 * 9) + 17)/(10) = c

(7 * 9) + 17 = 10 * c \\ 63 + 17 = 10 c \\ c = (80)/(10) = 8
hope this helps
