Since Sal brought 4 bags and Joe brought 6 bags, we know that Sal and Joe brought a total of 4 + 6 = <<4+6=10>>10 bags.
Let the variable t represent the number of bags that Trisha brought.
Since each bag has 12 clementines, the total number of clementines brought by Sal, Trisha, and Joe is 12*(4 + t + 6) = 12*(10 + t) = 180.
Thus, the equation is:
12*(10 + t) = 180
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
