Molly and Torry like to eat ice cream sandwiches. In one week, Molly ate 5 ice cream sandwiches, and Torry ate n ice cream sandwiches. They ate a total of 12 ice cream sandwiches altogether. Write an equation to describe this situation.
How many ice cream sandwiches did Torry eat? (Algebra)

The equation would be 5+n=12.

This means that tory ate 7 because 5+7=12.

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!

y > 1/3x

y < = -x + 4

hope this : )
