The same number of guests are seated at each of 11 large tables.
There are 4 guests seated at one small table. Write an equation
to represent the total number of guests T and the number of
people x at each large table. If there are 92 guests, how many
are seated at each large table?
We subtract the 4 guests which are seated at the one small table:
92-4 = 88.

Then we have 88 guests remaining to sit at 11 large tables, so 
we divide:

88÷11 = 8 guests to sit at each of the 11 large tables.
