Let's call the number of pieces of candy that Sydney has "x".
According to the problem, Samaria has 6 more than three times as many pieces of candy as Sydney. In equation form, this can be written as:
36 = 3x + 6
Now, we can solve for x by subtracting 6 from both sides of the equation:
36 - 6 = 3x
30 = 3x
Then, divide both sides of the equation by 3 to isolate x:
30/3 = x
10 = x
Therefore, Sydney has 10 pieces of candy. The correct answer choice is D.
Samaria has 6 more than three times as many pieces of candy as Sydney. Samaria has 36 pieces of candy. How many does Sydney have?
