This will execute the step and take you to the next step.
What does the problem ask for?
The number of players.
The number of Yodos, Modos and Hodos.
The color of the Boboball.
The starting equation is then
Yodos + 8 + Hodos = 50
Yodos + Modos + Hodos = 60
Yodos + Modos + Hodos = Total_players
This equation first asks for information about Yodos,
but we see that there is no source of information about Yodos.
The equation then asks about ...
Yodos
Modos
Hodos + Modos
Total_players
In equation form, the response is then...
Modos = 60
Modos = 8
Modos = 48
Total_players = 60
The equation next asks about...
Hodos
Modos
Yodos
Total_players
Expressed as an equation the correct response is:
Modos = 3 Hodos
Hodos = Modos/3
Hodos = 3 Modos
Hodos = Modos - 12
The last equation written asks about Modos.
We will find out from the problem statement.
The problem states that ...
there are twice as many Modos as Yodos.
there are 8 Modos.
there are 102 Modos.
there is no way of knowing.
In equation form the statement last written is ..,
Hodos = 8.
Modos = 8.
Hodos = 24.
The number of Hodos can now be determined.
This is done by ...
multiplying 3 and 8.
substituting the last equation in the previous one.
subtracting 3 from 8.
It is not possible to find Hodos.
The result of the substituting and simplifying is ...
Hodos = 24.
Hodos = 3(8) = 24.
Hodos = 5.
The last quantity asked for by the working equation is ...
Yodos
Total_players
Hodos
None of these
The appropriate equation for this step is then ...
Total_players = 60
Total_players = 24
Total_players = 102
Total_players = 48
The starting equation makes no more requests.
The problem is solved.
The appropriate operation is to ...
go on to the next problem.
substitute the results obtained in the indented steps into the starting equation.
report that the answer is 48.
wait for others to catch up.
The result of substituting the indented information ...
Yodos - 8 + 24 = 60.
Modos + 8 + 24 = 60.
Yodos +8 + 3(8)= 60.
Yodos + 8 + 24 = 60.
The last equation written requests that we ...
solve for Hodos.
solve for Modos.
solve for Yodos.
One result of solving for Yodos is...
Yodos = 60 - (8 + 3(8)) .
Yodos = 60 - 36.
Yodos = 60 - 48 .
Now the only thing left to do is..
