Question

A bus departed from New York at 11 pm with 44 passengers. An hour later, a few passengers got off at New Jersey. The number of passengers who boarded the bus at New Jersey were twice the number of passengers who got off the bus. If the bus has 50 passengers now, how many passengers got off at New Jersey?

Answer 1

6 got off at NJ

Explanation:

if u write an equation it would be 44-x+2x=50. -x+2x=x so the equation would now be 44+x=50. If you subtract both sides by 44, it would be x=6. x was the number of people that got off at NJ so 6 people got off there.

Hope this helps!
