Answer 1

To find the number of cans already on the shelf, we need to set up the correct equation based on the information given.

The shelf can hold a total of 58 cans and can still fit 39 more cans, which means the number of cans currently on the shelf can be represented as:

Let \( c \) be the number of cans already on the shelf.

Since the total capacity is 58 cans, the relationship can be expressed as:

\[ c + 39 = 58 \]

Now, we can solve for \( c \):

1. Subtract 39 from both sides: \[ c = 58 - 39 \]
2. Calculate the right side: \[ c = 19 \]

So, the number of cans already on the shelf is 19.

The correct equation and answer from the options provided are:

Equation: \( c + 39 = 58 \) and Answer: \( 19 \).
