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

To find out how many bags of clementines Trisha brought (let's denote that as \( T \)), we can start by determining the total number of clementines that Sal and Joe brought, and then use that information to find what Trisha brought.

1. Each bag contains 12 clementines.
2. Sal brought 4 bags, so he brought: \[ 4 \times 12 = 48 \text{ clementines} \]
3. Joe brought 6 bags, so he brought: \[ 6 \times 12 = 72 \text{ clementines} \]

Now, we can calculate the total number of clementines brought by Sal and Joe: \[ 48 + 72 = 120 \text{ clementines} \]

The total number of clementines brought by all three is 180, so we can find how many clementines Trisha brought: \[ \text{Total clementines} - (\text{Sal's clementines} + \text{Joe's clementines}) = 180 - 120 = 60 \text{ clementines} \]

To find the number of bags Trisha brought, we divide by the number of clementines per bag: \[ \frac{60}{12} = 5 \text{ bags} \]

The equation we can write is based on the total clementines: \[ \text{Clementines from Sal (4 bags)} + \text{Clementines from Joe (6 bags)} + \text{Clementines from Trisha (T bags)} = 180 \] In terms of bags: \[ (4 + 6 + T) = \frac{180}{12} \]

To fill in the blank spots in your format:

• T (for Trisha's bags)
• 4 + 6 for the bags from Sal and Joe
• \(\frac{180}{12}\) for the total number of bags

So, the final equation you are looking for is: \[ (T + 10) = 15 \] where \( T \) is the number of bags Trisha brought.

Answer 2

ok but the equation is this:

__ ( T + _ ) = _

you didnt fill in all blanks

Answer 3

I apologize for the oversight. Let's fill in all the blanks based on the information we've calculated:

The total number of bags brought by Sal, Joe, and Trisha can be represented as:

Total bags = 4 (Sal's bags) + 6 (Joe's bags) + \( T \) (Trisha's bags).

This gives us the equation to represent the total bags brought:

\[ \text{ (4 + 6 + T)} = \text{Total bags} \]

Since each bag contains 12 clementines and there are 180 clementines total, we can find the total number of bags:

\[ \frac{180 \text{ clementines}}{12 \text{ clementines per bag}} = 15 \text{ bags} \]

So, using the format \( __ (T + _) = _ \), we can fill in the equation:

\[ ( T + 10 ) = 15 \]

Where:

• The first blank is \( T \) (the number of bags Trisha brought).
• The second blank is \( 10 \) (the total number of bags from Sal and Joe).
• The last blank is \( 15 \) (the total number of bags).

Thus, the completed equation is:

\[ ( T + 10 ) = 15 \]

Answer 4

bruh what about the blank before?

Answer 5

I apologize for the misunderstanding! Let's clarify the equation and fill in all spots correctly in the format you provided:

We know the following from our calculations:

• Sal brought 4 bags of clementines.
• Joe brought 6 bags of clementines.
• Trisha brought \( T \) bags of clementines.

The total number of clementines is 180. Since each bag contains 12 clementines, the total number of bags can be expressed as: \[ \frac{180}{12} = 15 \text{ bags.} \]

Putting this together in the format:

Blank 1: Total bags (15)
Blank 2: \( T + 10 \) (because Sal has 4 bags and Joe has 6 bags, which totals to 10)
Blank 3: The total number of bags (15)

So the correct equation in the specified format would be:

\[ ( T + 10 ) = 15 \]

Now, filling in all the blanks:

• First Blank: \( T \)
• Second Blank: \( 10 \)
• Third Blank: \( 15 \)

Thank you for your patience! The final answer in your specified format is:

\[ ( T + 10 ) = 15 \]
