Question

a yoga class charges each of 4 students x dollars to attend plus a membership fee of $7. today, $48 was collected for the students attending the class. find a solution to the equation. 4(x + 7) = 48 x = \square

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by 4

$\frac{4(x+7)}{4} = \frac{48}{4}$
$x+7 = 12$

Step2: Subtract 7 from both sides

$x+7 - 7 = 12 - 7$

Answer:

$x=5$
