Answer 1

Answer:

$36=2n$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :You have 36 apples to share with your friends.

To Find: if each friend gets exactly 2 apples, which equation could you use to solve for the number of friends ,n?

Solution :

Since there are 36 apples

There are n friends

Since each friend gets 2 apples.

So, n friends get apples= 2n

Thus equation becomes:

⇒$36=2n$

⇒$\frac{36}{2}= n$

⇒$18=n$

Thus there are 18 friends

Hence , Equation could you use to solve for the number of friends n:

$36=2n$

Answer 2

You can use the following equation:

36(that is the number of apples) / 2(the number of apples each friend gets and this is = n

so the equation is 
36/2=n
