To solve the problem, we need to find out how many roses your mom cut from the garden to increase the count of roses in the vase from 8 to 16.
The correct equation is:
\[ 8 + x = 16 \]
This means we start with 8 roses and add \( x \) roses to get a total of 16.
Now, solving for \( x \):
\[ x = 16 - 8 \]
\[ x = 8 \]
So your mom cut **8 roses from the garden**.
The correct choice is:
**8 + x = 16 and x = 8 roses from the garden.**
The correct equation is:
\[ 8 + x = 16 \]
This means we start with 8 roses and add \( x \) roses to get a total of 16.
Now, solving for \( x \):
\[ x = 16 - 8 \]
\[ x = 8 \]
So your mom cut **8 roses from the garden**.
The correct choice is:
**8 + x = 16 and x = 8 roses from the garden.**
