Answer 1

The equation to represent the total number of gifts donated is G = 2 × 18, where G is the total number of gifts. Solving this, we find that 36 gifts were donated in total by the eighteen families.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's represent the total number of gifts donated in the toy drive with the variable G.

If each family donates 2 gifts and 18 families participated, the equation to find G is:

G = 2 × 18

To solve for G, multiply 2 by 18:

G = 36

Therefore, the total number of gifts donated to the toy drive by the eighteen families is 36 gifts.
