Question

heres the question 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.

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Let t be the number of bags Trisha brought.

Since Sal brought 4 bags and each bag contains 12 clementines, Sal brought a total of 4 * 12 = <<4*12=48>>48 clementines.
Joe brought 6 bags and each bag contains 12 clementines, Joe brought a total of 6 * 12 = <<6*12=72>>72 clementines.
The total number of clementines brought is 48 + 72 = <<48+72=120>>120 clementines.
Therefore, the equation to determine how many bags Trisha brought is t * 12 = 180 - 120.

Answer 2

how do i write that in form of ___( t + ___) = ___

Answer 3

To write the equation in the form _( t + ___) = ___, we need to first simplify the equation t * 12 = 180 - 120.

The equation can be simplified as t * 12 = 60.

Now we need to express the right side of the equation as a multiplication of t and some number.

60 can be expressed as 5 * 12, rewrite the equation as ( t + ___ ) * 12 = ____:

t * 12 = 5 * 12

So, the equation in the form _( t + ___) = ___ is ( t + 5 ) * 12 = 60.

Answer 4

no i mean with these numbers : 6 4 and 180

Answer 5

Apologies for the confusion. Let's write the equation using the given numbers.

Since Sal brought 4 bags and Joe brought 6 bags, Trisha must have brought t bags.

The equation can be set up as follows:

4 bags brought by Sal + 6 bags brought by Joe + t bags brought by Trisha = 180 clementines

To determine how many bags Trisha brought, we need to convert the number of bags to the number of clementines.

Recall that each bag contains 12 clementines, so 4 bags (brought by Sal) is equal to 4 * 12 = 48 clementines.

Similarly, 6 bags (brought by Joe) is equal to 6 * 12 = 72 clementines.

Substituting these values into the equation:

48 clementines brought by Sal + 72 clementines brought by Joe + t bags brought by Trisha = 180 clementines

Simplifying the equation further:

48 + 72 + t = 180

Combining like terms:

120 + t = 180

To solve for t, we can isolate t on one side of the equation by subtracting 120 from both sides:

t = 180 - 120

Simplifying:

t = 60

Therefore, Trisha brought 60 clementines, which would be equivalent to 60/12 = 5 bags.

Answer 6

ok let me be specific : Put it into linear equation form

Answer 7

Apologies for the confusion. To put the problem into linear equation form, we can rewrite it as:

4(12) + 6(12) + t(12) = 180

Simplifying:

48 + 72 + 12t = 180

Combine like terms:

120 + 12t = 180

To isolate the variable, we subtract 120 from both sides:

12t = 60

Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 12:

t = 5

Therefore, the linear equation form for the problem is: 12t + 120 = 180.
