Emma took 35 pictures of flowers on a nature walk and an additional 3 pictures of each bird she saw. She took a total of 83 pictures. Which equation can be used to find the number of birds, x, that Emma saw on her walk?

There are no equations to choose from, but the equation should look like the following.

x= number of birds

35 flowers + (3 pics * x)= 83 total


ANSWER: 35 + 3x= 83 or 3x + 35= 83

Hope this helps! :)
