The windows of a downtown office building are arranged so that each floor has 6 fewer windows than the floor below it. if the ground floor has 52 windows, how many windows are on the 8th floor?

Since the ground floor has 52 windows, and every floor, here are 6 fewer windows than the floor below it, we make a expression.

52-y=x.

We are trying to solve for x, not y.

In order to get 'y,' you have to multiply 8 by 6. Which is going to be 48.

(If you don't know multiplication, respectively.)

So now that we solved for y, =48 52-48= = x

Now all we have to do is simply subtract.

x=4.

So the answer to the problem is 4 windows on the 8th floor.

10 windows are on the 8th floor

Step-by-step explanation:

1 = 52

2 = 46

3 = 40

4 = 34

5 = 28

6 = 22

7 = 16

8 = 10

because they could drop even lower..
