Question

A survey asked a class of 30 students how many siblings they have. The number of students who have one sibling is 3 times the number of students, n, who have two or more siblings. If 6 students have no siblings, which of the following equations represents this situation?

  1. 1 third n plus 6 equals 30
  2. 3 n plus 6 equals 30
  3. 4 n plus 6 equals 30
  4. 6 n plus 6 equals 30

The correct answer is: 4 n plus 6 equals 30


    Given the number of students who have two (or) more siblings is n. The number of students who have one sibling is 3 times the number of students who have two (or) more siblings = 3n
    6 students has no siblings
    Then total no. of students in class is = 6 + 3n + n  = 30
    ⇒ 4n + 6 = 30 represents the situation.
