A film crew documented the Korowai tribe as they built one of their amazing tree houses . Based on the home construction the crew captured on film, the relationship between the number of occupants (people who will live in the home) and the number of bundles of palm leaves needed to build the home can be stated as:

Six more than twice the number of occupants is equal to the number of bundles.

Translate the sentence into an equation. Use p for the number of occupants and b for the number of bundles of palm leaves. Enter your response in the box. ***Please make sure to use "p" and "b" in your equation. You do not have to solve this equation.

Answer 1

Answer: 6 - 6(b +p) = b

Explanation:

Answer 2

`b=2p+6`

Explanation:

Let 'p' be the number of occupants and 'b' be the number of bundles of palm leaves.

Based on the home construction the crew captured on film, the relationship between the number of occupants (people who will live in the home) and the number of bundles of palm leaves needed to build the home can be stated as:

Six more than twice the number of occupants is equal to the number of bundles.

`6+2p=b` or
`b=2p+6`
