Answer 2

can i give a hand ? :)

Answer 3

Anyone can

Answer 4

:D

say the number of computers shared = \(c\)

Answer 5

so that means, each of these will get 2 students. so number of students that are on shared computers = \(2 \times c\)

Answer 6

next, how many students are working alone ?

Answer 7

Answer 8

@AkashdeepDeb

Answer 9

correct,
simply write equation for total number of students nw

Answer 10

total number of students = nuber of students sharing computers+ number of students working alone

Answer 11

= ?

Answer 12

total number of students 14 number of students sharing computers 12 number of students working alone 2
14 = 12 + 2

Answer 13

you're correct, but dont simplify fullly..

Answer 14

ok

Answer 15

il change wat u wrote above

Answer 16

ok

Answer 17

total number of students \(14\), number of students sharing computers \(2 \times c\) number of students working alone \(2\)

\(2 \times c + 2 = 14\)

Answer 18

2 x 6 + 2 = 14

Answer 19

dont do that,

Answer 20

look at ur options

Answer 21

ok

Answer 22

so its 2c + 2 = 14 is the answer right

Answer 23

yes !
