Question

Dave harvests eggs on his farm. He needs 3 more eggs to make 7 groups of 12 eggs each. Let e repres

number of eggs he has now.
Which equation can be used to find the number of eggs that Dave has now?

Answer 1

e=7(12)-3

Explanation:

Because he needs three more to have 7 groups of 12 (7x12=84) so he has three less than the 7 groups of 12 he needs (84). So subtract 3 from that.
