25x=500 or x=20

Explanation:

__

Well Rebecca have 500 fidget spinners so you put that on one end and let x be the number of teachers if you have 25 fidget spinners per teacher you need to multiply 25 by the number of teachers or x to find out so the equation will look like this: 25x=500

If you want to simplify you divide by 25 into both sides which are 20

Answer 2

Y= 20

Explanation:

From the question, Rebecca has 500 fridge my spinners to distribute in packs of 25 per teacher, we can denote the number of this teacher with "Y" then for her to distribute those 500 fridge in packs of 25 per teacher, then we can say (25× Y)= 25Y ,since she has 500 fridge in total to distribute then we can write a write a function modeling this situation as

25Y=500

where Y is the number of teacher

Make Y subject of the formula we have

Y= 500/25

Y=20
