Let x be the length of the other 4 worms.
The total length of the first 4 worms is 3 * 4 = <<3*4=12>>12 inches.
The total length of all the worms is x + 12 = <<x+12=32>>32 inches.
Combining like terms, we get x = 32 - 12 = <<32-12=20>>20 inches.
The equation that represents the lengths of all the worms is x = 20. Answer: \boxed{x=20}.
Jeffrey caught 8 worms in his backyard. 4 worms had a length of 3 inches. The other 4 worms were all the same size. The total length of all the worms combined is 32 inches. Which equation below represents the lengths of all the worms?

wrong.
Apologies for the mistake. Let's denote the length of the other 4 worms as y inches.
We know that the total length of the first 4 worms is 3 inches each, so it is 3*4 = 12 inches.
The total length of all the worms is 12 + y*4 = 32 inches.
Thus, the equation that represents the lengths of all the worms is 12 + 4y = 32.
We know that the total length of the first 4 worms is 3 inches each, so it is 3*4 = 12 inches.
The total length of all the worms is 12 + y*4 = 32 inches.
Thus, the equation that represents the lengths of all the worms is 12 + 4y = 32.
A.4x + 3 = 32
B. 4x + 3x = 32
C. 3(x + 4) = 32
D. 4(x + 3) = 32
B. 4x + 3x = 32
C. 3(x + 4) = 32
D. 4(x + 3) = 32
The correct equation that represents the lengths of all the worms is option D: 4(x + 3) = 32.
Let's break it down:
x represents the length of the other 4 worms.
3 represents the length of the first 4 worms.
4(x + 3) represents the total length of all the worms.
32 represents the total length of all the worms combined.
Let's break it down:
x represents the length of the other 4 worms.
3 represents the length of the first 4 worms.
4(x + 3) represents the total length of all the worms.
32 represents the total length of all the worms combined.
