Let x be the number produced on shift 2
Then 11x is the number produced on shift 1

The total produced is 12,000:

x+11x=12000
12x=12000
x=12000/12=1000

ANSWERS:
x=1000 on shift 2
11x=11,000 on shift 1

Let number of rings produced in shift two be x
Rand Co. produces 11 times as many rings on shift one as on shift two
In shift one 11x rings are produced.
Total of 12,000 rings were produced
x+11x = 12000
12x = 12000
divide by 12 both sides
x = 12000/12
x = 1000
On shift two, 1,000 rings were produced.
In shift one 11x rings are produced. =11x = 11*1000 =11000
On shift one, 11,000 rings were produced.
