Question

Alexa won 80 super bouncy balls playing horseshoes at her school's game night. Later, she gave two to each of her friends.

She only has 8 remaining. How many friends does she have?

Answer 1

Alexa has 36 friends

Explanation:

80 - 8 = 72, if she gives 2 to each friend...

that would mean 2 · x = 72

to find x, divide 72 by 2,

72 ÷ 2 = 36 friends
