Question

there are 2 cherry pies. Each pie has 6 slices. The bakery gave out 8 slices. write an equation to represent how much pie was given away.

Answer 1

The bakery gave out 4 slices of pie.

Explanation:

We first find out how many slices were in both cherry pies. We can do this by multiplying 2 by 6 and get 12. Because they gave out 8 slices, they gave away 4 slices. An equation for this would be (x equals how much pie was given away):

`2(6)-8=x`
