6. Critique reasoning

Ryan added the total number of students in Mr . Bell's and Ms. Ridley's classes wrongly.

7. Generalize

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Total number of students in Mr. Bell's and Ms. Holtz's class =}24+17=41 \\ \text{Let N be the number of groups of 6 students.} \\ \text{Thus,} \\ 6\text{ }\times\text{ N = 41} \\ N\text{ = }\frac{41}{6} \\ \Rightarrow N=\text{ 6 groups of 6 students and 1 group of 5 students} \end{gathered}[/tex]
