Question

I need to transport 100 people. I can transport 60 of them in large cabs. The company has no more large cabs available. They have small cabs that can transport 4 people per cab. How many small cabs will I need to transport the rest of the people?

Answer 1

10 small cabs

Explanation:

I believe what you are asking is 40=4x because we already subtracted 60 from both sides in this equation 100=60-4x. Then you have 40=4x and you divide each side by 4 and get 10=x. Hope this is what youre asking.
