Question

Tegan needs to make 68 more snow blocks to finish building an igloo. Write an equation for the number of blocks Tegan still needs to make, m , when she has completed c blocks. Tegan completes 33 blocks. How many blocks does Tegan still need to make to finish the igloo? blocks-

Answer 1

`m =68-c` ; when c = 33, we get m = 35

Explanation:

Let the number of blocks Tegan still needs to make be = m

Let the completed blocks be = c

Tegan completes 33 blocks. This means c = 33

So, the number of blocks Tegan still need to make to finish the igloo is by expression :

`m =68-c`

As c = 33

`m=68-33`

m = 35
