Question

Brenda purchased a jewelry-making kit to make gifts for her friends. The kit includes material to make 68 bracelets. Brenda completed 17 bracelets. Write and solve an equation to show how many more bracelets she can make from the kit.

Answer 1

Let x be the number of bracelets Brenda can still make from the kit.
The total number of bracelets Brenda can make is x + 17 = 68.
Subtracting 17 from both sides, we get x = 68 - 17 = <<68-17=51>>51.
Brenda can still make 51 bracelets from the kit. Answer: \boxed{51}.
