Answer 3

Let's call the number of pieces of candy that Sydney has "x".

According to the problem, Samaria has 6 more than three times as many pieces of candy as Sydney. In equation form, this can be written as:

36 = 3x + 6

Now, we can solve for x by subtracting 6 from both sides of the equation:

36 - 6 = 3x
30 = 3x

Then, divide both sides of the equation by 3 to isolate x:

30/3 = x
10 = x

Therefore, Sydney has 10 pieces of candy. The correct answer choice is D.

Answer 4

Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. You are correct, the correct answer is D) 10. Based on the equation: 36 = 3x + 6, solving for x gives x = 10. Sydney has 10 pieces of candy.
