Question

Paula charges $12 to shovel a driveway. She shoveled 6 driveways on Saturday and then some more on Sunday. She made $144 for the weekend. How many driveways did she shovel on Sunday? Choose two answers: one for the equation that models this situation and one for the correct answer.
A. Answer: 12 driveways I
B. Equation: 6(12 + x) = 144
C. Equation: 12(6 + x) = 144
D. Answer: 6 driveways​

Answer 1

Answer:

C and D

Equation: you would multiply the price per driveway by the number of driveways which would be 6 + x ( 6 on Saturday and x on Sunday)

The equation would be 12(6 + x) = 144

Solve for x:

12(6 + x) = 144

Simplify:

72 + 12x = 144

Subtract 72 from both sides

12x = 72

Divide both sides by 12

X = 6
