Question

Lan has 30 star stickers to share. she gives 4 stickers to each of her and has 2 stickers.

how many friends does lan have.

Answer 1

7
30/4 =7.5 so the answer is 7

Answer 2

7

Explanation:

this can be written as an equation, which is 4x+2= 30

X = the number of friends

30= the total of stickers

4= the stickers each friend gets

2= the amount lan gets.

Now solve the equation, first subtract 2 on both sides, which is 28

4x=28 now divide both sides by 4, which will give you 7

x= 7, that means that answer is 7
