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]

The equation to determine how many bags Trisha brought can be written as:

4 bags (from Sal) + t bags (from Trisha) + 6 bags (from Joe) = 180 clementines

4 + t + 6 = 180

Therefore, the equation is:

t + 10 = 180

Answer 2

you sure?

I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Let me correct the equation:

The total number of clementines is equal to the sum of the number of clementines brought by each person. Each bag contains 12 clementines.

So, the equation would be:

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

48 + 12t + 72 = 180

Combine like terms:

12t + 120 = 180

Subtract 120 from both sides:

12t = 60

Divide by 12:

t = 5

Therefore, Trisha brought 5 bags of clementines.

I apologize for the error in my previous responses. Let's rewrite the equation in the correct format:

Let t represent the number of bags brought by Trisha.

The equation can be written as:

(4 bags from Sal) + (t bags from Trisha) + (6 bags from Joe) = 180 clementines

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

48 + 12t + 72 = 180

Combine like terms:

12t + 120 = 180

Move 120 to the other side:

12t = 60

Divide by 12:

t = 5

Therefore, the correct equation in the format you requested is:

(t + 5) = 5

Answer 6

my answer that I got is 4 (t + 6) = 12 is that right ??

Answer 7

Let's check the answer:

Sal brought 4 bags, Joe brought 6 bags, and Trisha brought t bags. Each bag contains 12 clementines. The total number of clementines is 180.

So, if we consider the number of clementines:

4 bags from Sal: 4 * 12 = 48 clementines
6 bags from Joe: 6 * 12 = 72 clementines
t bags from Trisha: t * 12 = 12t clementines

Given that the total clementines is 180 clementines:

48 (from Sal) + 72 (from Joe) + 12t (from Trisha) = 180

Simplifying this equation gives us:

48 + 72 + 12t = 180

120 + 12t = 180

12t = 60

Dividing by 12 gives:

t = 5

Therefore, the correct equation in the format you requested should be:

4(t + 6) = 12

When you simplify it, you get:

4t + 24 = 180

Which simplifies to:

4t = 156

And finally:

t = 39

So, the correct equation should be:

4(t + 6) = 180

Answer 9

I apologize for the mistake in my calculation. Let's reevaluate the equation based on the information provided:

Sal brought 4 bags, Joe brought 6 bags, and Trisha brought t bags. Each bag contains 12 clementines. The total number of clementines is 180.

So, the equation should be:

4 * 12 + t * 12 + 6 * 12 = 180

48 + 12t + 72 = 180

Combine like terms:

12t + 120 = 180

Subtract 120 from both sides:

12t = 60

Divide by 12:

t = 5

Therefore, the correct equation should be:

4(t + 6) = 180
