Question

Here are two stories: Story 1: A family buys 6 tickets to a show. They also each spend $3 on a snack. They spend $24 on the show. Story 2: Diego has 24 ounces of juice. He pours equal amounts for each of his 3 friends, and then adds 6 more ounces for each. Here are two equations: Which equation represents Story 2? Select one: 3(x + 6) = 24 6(x + 3) = 24

Answer 1
