Question 138888: The problem is: A roller coaster carries 92 people altogether. Some of its cars carry 4 passengers, and the rest carry 6 passengers. There are three fewer 6-passenger cars than 4-passenger cars. How many 4-passenger cars are there?
I started a problem with f=4passenger cars & f-3=6passenger cars, but this doesn't work. Answer by edjones(8007) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let f=number of 4 passenger cars, f-3=number of 6 passenger cars.
4f+6(f-3)=92
4f+6f-18=92
10f-18+18=92+18
10f=110
f=11 Ans.

Check:
11*4=44
8*6=48
44+48=92
