The equation \( \frac{2}{3}x + 13 = 29 \) can be modeled by the scenario:

Luis needs to bring 29 oranges to a party. He has \( \frac{2}{3} \) of the oranges he needs and his brother will get another 13 oranges. How many oranges does Luis have?

This option correctly sets up the equation based on the information provided—Luis is trying to determine how many oranges he has before adding the additional oranges his brother will bring.
