Question

Eva will send thank you cards to the 26 people who came to her birthday party and to any others who send presents by mail. Let m represent the number of people who send presents by mail and t represent the number of thank you cards Eva sends. Complete the equation that represents the relationship between m and t.

Answer 1

Answer:

$t = 26 + m$  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Number of people who came to Eva's party = 26

Number of people who send present by mail = $m$

Let $t$ represent the total number of thank you card Eva needs to send.

Eva will send a thank you card to everyone who attended the party and send the gift by mail.

Number of thank you card = Number of people who attended the party +  Number of people who send the gift by mail

Thus, we can write the the equation:

$t = 26 + m$

is the required relation between m and t.
