<h3>The answer is:</h3><h2>B</h2><h2 />
First, look for some of the key words in the word problem.
<em>Plus, is the same as the...</em>
Now we can use those key words and translate it into an equation.
You don't know the price of 3 notebooks, so you should put: 3x
Instead of saying plus, we can say: +
It says "...3 notebooks plus a $30 backpack..." so we add 30.
Instead of saying "is the same as the", we can say: =
You don't know the price of 11 notebooks either, so you should put: 11x
Now, put together the equation:
3x + 30 = 11x
There is your equation! Match it up with one of the given answers and you will receive B.
