Question

Isaac is making sandwiches for a group of friends. He needs 3 ounces of meat for each sandwich.

Answer 1

Answer:

Part A: x=3

Part B: 6oz

3x=18

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A-

So, he needs 3 oz for each sandwich.

This gives us 3 for the equation.

The question says that we need an equation for this.

If we need an equation, we could write something like

x=3

There's really not anything else that we could write here.

Part B-

We now have something that we need to write.

He has 18 oz for sandwiches.

Each sandwich needs 3 oz.

So, we can write something like 3x=18

Then we could solve the equation by dividing both sides by 3.

This will leave us with x=6

Hope this works!

Answer 2

If you divide 18 by 3 it will equal 6, the variable is 6
