Jaden’s teacher had 4 boxes of pens that each contained y pens. She took 6 pens out of one of the boxes and told her 17 students to divide the remaining pens equally among themselves. Which expression shows the number of pens each student got?

x = (4y-6)/17

where x is the  number of pens each student got.

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of boxes = 4

no. of pen in 1 box = y

total no, of pens in 4 box =  No. of boxes *no. of pen in 1 box = 4y

No. of pen took away by Jaden's teacher = 6

no. of pens left = 4y - 6

This, 4y - 6 pen has to be divided among 17 students.

Let  each student get x pen

thus, total no. of pen got by 17 student  = 17x

This, 17x should be equal to total no. of pens available which is 4y-6

17x = 4y-6

=> x = (4y-6)/17

Thus, expression to represent  number of pens each student got

is x = (4y-6)/17
