Answer 2

`36=2n`

Explanation:

Given :You have 36 apples to share with your friends.

To Find: if each friend gets exactly 2 apples, which equation could you use to solve for the number of friends ,n?

Solution :

Since there are 36 apples

There are n friends

Since each friend gets 2 apples.

So, n friends get apples= 2n

Thus equation becomes:

⇒
`36=2n`

⇒
`(36)/(2)= n`

⇒
`18=n`

Thus there are 18 friends

Hence , Equation could you use to solve for the number of friends n:

`36=2n`
