Question

There were 47 ducks swimming in a pond a dog jumped into a pond and scared 29 of the ducks away after the dog got out 5 groups of 3 return to the pond which equation can we use to find the D the number of ducks in the point after the dog got out

Answer 1

To find the equation to d (number of ducks in the pond) you can divide the description as follow:

There were 47 ducks in a pond, a dog scared 29: Substract the number of ducks that leave the pond from the initial number of ducks: (47-29)

After the dog got otr, 5 groups of 3 (5 x 3) returned tothe pond: you add it to the first part as thise ducks returned.

`d=(47-29)+(5*3)`
