2x + 8y = 5
24x – 4y = –15

2x + 8y = 5

2/ 24x - 4y = -15

2x + 8y = 5

48x - 8x = -30

+

50x = -25

x = -1/2

2 * -1/2 + 8y = 5

-1 + 8y = 5

8y = 6

y = 6/8

y = 3/4

x = -1/2 y = 3/4

12 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you had 4 sheets, you would want to start by dividing them all in 3's, since that's easiest. (open the file i just for a better example of how the sheet should look).

Now, let's assume these sheets are regular office sized paper.

Start by handing 1 third out to A student.

Now, since there are 4 sheets, divided in 3 sections, we multiply to see the result of how many sections there are.

4 x 3 = 12.

Therefore, 12 students will receive a third of the tissue paper.
