Answer:
33 cards in all
Explanation:
Martha can make 5 cards in one hour.
She already has 3 cards.
Set the equation. Let x = amount of hours, and y = total cards made:
y = 5x + 3
We know that the amount of hours (x) is 6. Plug in 6 for x in the equation:
y = 5(6) + 3
Simplify. Follow PEMDAS. First multiply, then add:
y = 5(6) + 3
y = 30 + 3
y = 33
Martha can make 33 cards in 6 hours
