Question

Jimmy started with 8 blue 4 yellow and 6 red building blocks and bought 2 boxes of building blocks. He now has 82 building blocks. Create an equation to represent the amount of building blocks in each box

Answer 1

Let

x---------> the amount of building blocks in each box

we know that

82=2*x+(8+4+6)

82=2*x+(18)

Solve for x

Subtract 18 from both sides

82-18=2*x+18-18

2*x=64

Divide by 2 both sides

x=32 building blocks

therefore

the answer is

the amount of building blocks in each box is 32
