Janelle is in charge of bringing in dry erase markers for everyone in her math group to use to work on a project. She brings 3 m
arkers for each person in her group and 5 extra markers for everyone to share. If Janelle brings in 23 markers in all, which equation represents the information? Let x represent the number of students in Janelle’s group.
3x = 23 + 5
3x = 23
3x – 5 = 23
3x + 5 = 23
because 3 markers for every person and we dont know how many people there are so that's x then you add 5 to the 3 time x and you should have 23 as your answer
