Answer:

8

Explanation:

Let's use algebra to solve the problem:

Let x be the number of snowmen built on Tuesday.

On Monday, they built 3 snowmen.

On Tuesday, they built x snowmen.

The total number of snowmen they had after building on Tuesday is 11.

So, the equation representing the total number of snowmen is:

3 (from Monday) + x (from Tuesday) = 11

To find the value of x, we can solve the equation:

3 + x = 11

Subtract 3 from both sides:

x = 11 - 3

x = 8

Therefore, they built 8 snowmen on Tuesday.
