Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{3}x+16=37$

63 Jelly Beans

Step-by-step explanation:

The unknown is the number of jelly beans originally in the bag or x

First he had x jelly beans

The he ate one-third of them

$\frac{1}{3}x$

He then ate 16 more jelly beans

$\frac{1}{3}x+16$

This was equal to 37 jelly beans

$\frac{1}{3}x+16=37$

This is the equation

Now solve for x

Subtract 16 from both sides

$\frac{1}{3}x=21$

Multiply both sides by 3

$x=63$

63 Jelly Beans

Answer 2

First you write the equation x+16=37. After solving you will get x=21. Then you multiply x by 3 to get the whole bag. And you will get 63
