Question

An apartment building currently has rented x apartments with two occupants and 16 apartments with one occupant. The apartment building has 94 total occupants. Write an equation to represent this situation.

Answer 1

16x=94

Explanation:

An apartment has X apartments, meaning that this will be an equation including an variable (obviously, right?). 16 apartments were rented out. We’ll use 16 and x, but there’s more. The building has 94 apartments. Therefore, the equation would be 16x=94
