Bags of clementines have 12 each. For a party Sal, Trisha, and Joe each brought bags of clementines. Altogether, there were 189 clementines. Sal brought 4 bags and Joe bought 6. Write the equation to determine how many bags Trisha brought,t.

Answer 1

The equation to determine how many bags Trisha brought, t, can be written as:

12t = 189 - (4*12) - (6*12)

Simplifying this equation gives:

12t = 189 - 48 - 72

12t = 69

Therefore, the equation to determine how many bags Trisha brought is 12t = 69.
