Answer:

8g = 12 + 28

g = 5 packs

Step-by-step explanation:

Share of the sticks of gum

Manuela = 12 sticks

Sinah = 28 sticks

There are 8 sticks in each pack

g = number of packs of gum that sinah bought?

g × 8 sticks = 12 sticks + 28 sticks

8g = 40

Divide both sides by 8

g = 40 / 8

g = 5 packs
