You sell instruments at a Caribbean music festival. You earn $326 by selling 12 sets of maracas, 6 sets of claves, and x
x
djembe drums. Write an equation you can use to find the number of djembe drums you sold.
326=12m+6c+x The reason your x does not have a number is because it is unknown so in order to solve for x you need to get rid of the 12m+6c so in order to that you can divide it on both sides so you would get 326/12m+6c=x the divide your numbers 18.1=x but you cant have a tenth of a djembe drum so you would have to round up to 19.
