Question

Noah buys 3 packages of pens each package has four blue pens and two black pens which equation can be used to find p

Answer 1

p = 3*[ 4p+ 2p]

Explanation:

Total number of pens = 3 times [ 4 blue pens + 2 black pens]

If we denote the total number of pens by p then the equation becomes

p = 3*[ 4.blue + 2black]

p = 12p+6p

p = 18p

There are total 18 pens out of which 12 pens are blue and 6 pens are black.
