Question

Here are two stories:

A family buys 6 tickets to a show. They also each spend $3 on a snack. They spend $24 on the show.

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:

3(x+6)=24
6(x+3)=24

1. What does x represent in each equation?

2. Find the solution to each equation.

3. Explain or show your reasoning.

4. What does each solution tell you about its situation?

Answer 1

X is 24 that means the answer is 83

Answer 2
