in a school with 5 classes , each class has 2 students less than the previous class . how many students are there in the largest class if the total number of students at school is 115 ?
"let x be the number of students in the largest class . then x + ( x - 2 ) + ( x - 4 ) + ( x - 6 ) + ( x - 8 ) = 115 5 x - 20 = 115 5 x = 135 x = 27 the answer is c ."
add(divide(subtract(115, add(add(add(2, add(2, 2)), add(add(2, 2), 2)), add(add(add(2, 2), 2), 2))), 5), add(add(add(2, 2), 2), 2))
