Let t be the number of bags Trisha brought.
Since Sal brought 4 bags and each bag contains 12 clementines, Sal brought a total of 4 * 12 = <<4*12=48>>48 clementines.
Joe brought 6 bags and each bag contains 12 clementines, Joe brought a total of 6 * 12 = <<6*12=72>>72 clementines.
The total number of clementines brought is 48 + 72 = <<48+72=120>>120 clementines.
Therefore, the equation to determine how many bags Trisha brought is t * 12 = 180 - 120.
heres the question 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.

how do i write that in form of ___( t + ___) = ___
To write the equation in the form _( t + ___) = ___, we need to first simplify the equation t * 12 = 180 - 120.
The equation can be simplified as t * 12 = 60.
Now we need to express the right side of the equation as a multiplication of t and some number.
60 can be expressed as 5 * 12, rewrite the equation as ( t + ___ ) * 12 = ____:
t * 12 = 5 * 12
So, the equation in the form _( t + ___) = ___ is ( t + 5 ) * 12 = 60.
The equation can be simplified as t * 12 = 60.
Now we need to express the right side of the equation as a multiplication of t and some number.
60 can be expressed as 5 * 12, rewrite the equation as ( t + ___ ) * 12 = ____:
t * 12 = 5 * 12
So, the equation in the form _( t + ___) = ___ is ( t + 5 ) * 12 = 60.
no i mean with these numbers : 6 4 and 180
Apologies for the confusion. Let's write the equation using the given numbers.
Since Sal brought 4 bags and Joe brought 6 bags, Trisha must have brought t bags.
The equation can be set up as follows:
4 bags brought by Sal + 6 bags brought by Joe + t bags brought by Trisha = 180 clementines
To determine how many bags Trisha brought, we need to convert the number of bags to the number of clementines.
Recall that each bag contains 12 clementines, so 4 bags (brought by Sal) is equal to 4 * 12 = 48 clementines.
Similarly, 6 bags (brought by Joe) is equal to 6 * 12 = 72 clementines.
Substituting these values into the equation:
48 clementines brought by Sal + 72 clementines brought by Joe + t bags brought by Trisha = 180 clementines
Simplifying the equation further:
48 + 72 + t = 180
Combining like terms:
120 + t = 180
To solve for t, we can isolate t on one side of the equation by subtracting 120 from both sides:
t = 180 - 120
Simplifying:
t = 60
Therefore, Trisha brought 60 clementines, which would be equivalent to 60/12 = 5 bags.
Since Sal brought 4 bags and Joe brought 6 bags, Trisha must have brought t bags.
The equation can be set up as follows:
4 bags brought by Sal + 6 bags brought by Joe + t bags brought by Trisha = 180 clementines
To determine how many bags Trisha brought, we need to convert the number of bags to the number of clementines.
Recall that each bag contains 12 clementines, so 4 bags (brought by Sal) is equal to 4 * 12 = 48 clementines.
Similarly, 6 bags (brought by Joe) is equal to 6 * 12 = 72 clementines.
Substituting these values into the equation:
48 clementines brought by Sal + 72 clementines brought by Joe + t bags brought by Trisha = 180 clementines
Simplifying the equation further:
48 + 72 + t = 180
Combining like terms:
120 + t = 180
To solve for t, we can isolate t on one side of the equation by subtracting 120 from both sides:
t = 180 - 120
Simplifying:
t = 60
Therefore, Trisha brought 60 clementines, which would be equivalent to 60/12 = 5 bags.
ok let me be specific : Put it into linear equation form
Apologies for the confusion. To put the problem into linear equation form, we can rewrite it as:
4(12) + 6(12) + t(12) = 180
Simplifying:
48 + 72 + 12t = 180
Combine like terms:
120 + 12t = 180
To isolate the variable, we subtract 120 from both sides:
12t = 60
Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 12:
t = 5
Therefore, the linear equation form for the problem is: 12t + 120 = 180.
4(12) + 6(12) + t(12) = 180
Simplifying:
48 + 72 + 12t = 180
Combine like terms:
120 + 12t = 180
To isolate the variable, we subtract 120 from both sides:
12t = 60
Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 12:
t = 5
Therefore, the linear equation form for the problem is: 12t + 120 = 180.
