bags of clementines have 12 each. for a party, sal, trisha, and joe each brought bags of clementines. altogether, there were 180 clementines. sal brought 4 bags and joe brought 6. write the equation to determine how many bags trisha brought, t.(2 points)
Let t be the number of bags Trisha brought.
Since each bag contains 12 clementines, the total number of clementines in Sal's bags is 4 * 12 = <<4*12=48>>48.
Similarly, the total number of clementines in Joe's bags is 6 * 12 = <<6*12=72>>72.
Therefore, the equation to determine how many bags Trisha brought is:
48 + 72 + t * 12 = 180
