Amachine prints 230 movie posters each hour write and solve an equation to find the number of house it takes the machine to print 1265 posters.

For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.

We have then:

x: number of hours

y: amount of movie posters

The equation modeling the problem for this case is given by:

Therefore, for 1265 posters we have:

From here, we clear the number of hours.

We have then:

an equation to find the number of hours it takes the machine to print 1265 posters is:

The number of hours is:

answer: 1) twenty-seven times y

              2) twenty-seven multiplied by y
