The fourteen students in Mateo's computer PROGRAMMING class are using the computer lab. Some COMPUTERS are shared by pairs of students, and 2 students work alone. Which equation could you use to determine how many computers are shared in the computer lab? Let c be the number of shared computers. the quantity c over two all minus two equals fourteen two times c minus two equals fourteen two times c plus two equals fourteen the quantity c over two all plus two equals fourteen

so theres 14 people total, 2 of them work alone and the remaining 12 of them work in pairs.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its B

OpenStudy (tylerd):

no

OpenStudy (tylerd):

so 12 students share computers 12/2 = 6 so we know c=6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh A

OpenStudy (tylerd):

no

OpenStudy (tylerd):

6/2-2=14? nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u have to go inverse

OpenStudy (tylerd):

no all you have to do is plug in C and see which equation is true

OpenStudy (tylerd):

we solved for C=6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sooo D???

OpenStudy (tylerd):

lets see \[\frac{ 6 }{ 2 }+2=5\]

OpenStudy (tylerd):

so no

OpenStudy (tylerd):

it has to = 14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

technically i used all the answers except C so i guess it that then

OpenStudy (tylerd):

lets see 2 times 6 +2 =?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this was hard

OpenStudy (tylerd):

12+2=14

OpenStudy (tylerd):

yep
