Question

20 points!

Kathy was packing lunches for her 5 kids. She put the same items in each lunch box. She then decided to add 2 Oreos to each box. All together, she put 30 items in the lunch boxes. Which equation represents this situation?

Answer 1

30/5-2 = number of items in each lunch box before adding the 2 Oreos.

Explanation:

30/5=6 items in each box

6-2 Oreos=4 item besides the Oreos

30/5-2 = number of items in each lunch box before adding the 2 Oreos.
