This equation shows how the number of glasses that Micah has left is related to the number of tables that she has set.

g = –3t + 88

The variable t represents the number of tables Micah has set, and the variable g represents the number of glasses remaining. How many tables does Micah need to set in order to have just 40 glasses left to distribute?

Respuesta :

Micah needs to set 16 tables in order to have just 40 glasses left to distribute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is;

g = -3t + 88

t = number of tables

g = number of glasses remaining

For 40 glasses to be left; we will put

g = 40 in given equation

[tex]40=-3t+88\\3t=88-40\\3t=48\\[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 3

[tex]\frac{3t}{t}=\frac{48}{3}\\t=16[/tex]

Micah needs to set 16 tables in order to have just 40 glasses left to distribute.
