Bags of clementines, 12 clementines, each for a pArty cell. Trisha and Joe brought bags of clementines altogether they were 180 clementines Sal brought four bags from Ross six write the equation to send it to determine how many bags Trisha brought.,

Answer 1

To determine how many bags of clementines Trisha brought, we can first define some variables:

• Let \( T \) be the number of bags Trisha brought.
• Let \( J \) be the number of bags Joe brought.

We know that each bag contains 12 clementines. Therefore, the total number of clementines brought by Trisha and Joe can be expressed as:

\[ 12T + 12J = 180 \]

Since Sal brought 4 bags and each bag contains 12 clementines, the total number of clementines Sal brought can be calculated as follows:

\[ 12 \times 4 = 48 \]

Now, we can subtract the clementines brought by Sal from the total clementines to find the clementines brought by Trisha and Joe:

\[ 180 - 48 = 132 \]

Thus, the equation for the clementines brought by Trisha and Joe becomes:

\[ 12T + 12J = 132 \]

To simplify the equation, we can divide everything by 12:

\[ T + J = 11 \]

Now that we have the equation \( T + J = 11 \), we can express the number of bags Trisha brought in terms of the number of bags Joe brought:

\[ T = 11 - J \]

We need more information about how many bags Joe (or Trisha) brought to find the exact number of bags Trisha brought. If you have that information, please provide it!
