As a reward for winning a math competition, 26 students in the 7th grade visited a theme park. On one ride, 3 equal groups of students could be seated and 2 students were left over. Write and solve an equation to find how many students could be seated in each group.

in each group, there are 8 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a total of 26 students.

If we separate them into 3 equal groups (suppose that each group has X students) and leave 2 students left, we will have the relation:

3*X + 2 = 26

This means that 3 times the number of students in each group, plus the two students leftover must be equal to the initial number of students.

Now we can solve this for X.

3*X + 2 = 26

3*X = 26 - 2 = 24

X = 24/3 = 8

X = 8

This means that in each group there are 8 students.
