I think it’s 145 because if 1,3,5, and 7 are the same (35) than since 1 and 3 are 35 35 plus 35 is 70 and 360 minus 70 is 290 and since 2 and 4 are the same than you would divide 290 and 2 which gives you 145 and 145 plus 145 plus 35 plus 35 equals 360
The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables: p = total number of paperclips x = paper clips added by carmen. The equation that models this situation is: p = x + 37 Answer: An equation that models the total number of paperclips in the box is: p = x + 37
