Roads problem

<p>2x+(12-x) = 17
x = 5</p>

<p>therefore 12-x = 7</p>

<p>Was the question asking for the number of people who DID submit 2 pieces of the artwork, or the number of people who did not submit 2 pieces?</p>

<p>number of people who submitted only 1 piece</p>

<p>collegebound,
You were right with your logic, but the question asked for the number of people who only submitted one. So, the answer was 7.</p>
