brrandyn · Answer

In the given scenario, Aiko starts with 17 comic books, therefore, is your constant.

$$xb + 17 = 65$$

Factoring that the "b" variable represents an individual box of 8, solve for b accordingly.

thadds2003 · Answer

what goes in the boxes? im confused..........

brrandyn · Answer

If one box equals 8, replace the variable.
$$b = 8$$
However, this is  not the solution. 
$$what * 8 + 17=65?$$

brrandyn · Answer

$$x(8) + 17 = 65$$

Apologies for any confusion. **Solve for x.

thadds2003 · Answer

8 * 6 + 17 = 65.

brrandyn · Answer

Correct! 
$$6b + 17 = 65$$

Solve for the excess (bonus).

thadds2003 · Answer

6 * 8 + 17 = 65.

brrandyn · Answer

In actuality,$$b=8*6$$

Now that the number of "comics" has increased, reevaluate the quantity.

thadds2003 · Answer

8*6=48. so 48 is the answer to the bonus one???
