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

Let t be the number of bags that Trisha brought.

The total number of bags is the sum of the bags brought by Sal, Joe, and Trisha, so t+4+6=180.
Combining like terms, we get t+10=180.
