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.

3 answers

Let x represent the length of the other 4 worms.
The total length of the 4 worms with a length of 3 inches is 4*3 = 12 inches.
The total length of all the worms is 12+x = 32 inches.
Therefore, the equation representing the lengths of all the worms is 12+x = 32.
4x + 3=32
4x +3x=32
3(x+4)=32
4(x+3)=32
None of the provided equations represents the lengths of all the worms.
The correct equation is: 4(3) + 4x = 32.
