On the day of the performance, student council has 80 bottles of water to sell. each box of water holds 10 bottles of water. how many boxes of water do they have?

This is a simple division problem

80 bottles and each box holds 10 bottles, but how many boxes are there?

Well, we can just divide 80 by 10. How many times does 10 do into 80?

10 +10

20 +10

30 +10

40 +10

50 +10

60 +10

70 +10

80

If you count, that is 8 times. 10 goes into 80 8 times and this means that the student council has 8 boxes

Your answer is 8 boxes

step-by-step explanation:

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=
