Let A represent the number of cupcakes Ann has, and let P represent the number of cupcakes Pat has.
The total number of cupcakes is 3, so A + P = 3.
They cut each cupcake into 2 equal parts, so the total number of parts is 6.
Since each cupcake is cut into 2 equal parts, Ann has A * 2 parts and Pat has P * 2 parts.
The total number of parts is also A * 2 + P * 2, which can be simplified to 2(A + P).
Therefore, 2(A + P) = 6 is the equation that represents the problem.
