Question

At the start of her shift at Midtown Bakery, Megan made some batches of cookies that called for 3 cups of flour each. Then, she used the remaining 8 cups of flour she had to make a pan of muffins. She started her shift with a 20-cup bag of flour.

Which equation can you use to find how many batches of cookies, x, Megan made?

Please I'll make you brainilest

Answer 1

The total flour is 20 cups. Each cookie batch (x) took 3 cups, so 3x is 3 cups x number of cookie batches. Then she had 8 cups leftover. So 3x + 8 = 20.
Then solve for x, by first subtracting 8 from both sides to get 3x = 12, then divide both sides by 3 to get x by itself to get x = 4.
So Megan made 4 batches of cookies.

Answer 2

Write the equation
3x+8=20

Subtract 8 both sides

3x/12

Solution

X=4 and choose the equation I provided up top
