Question

your aunt gave you 20 pieces of candy and you ate 2 pierced each day after a certain number of days there are 8 pieces how many days before there were only 8 pieces left?

Answer 1

Explanation:

set it up as an algebra equation- 20 = 2x - 8. You subtract 8 from the 20 original candy, since that’s what you have left. You end up with 16 candy.

divide by 2, for 2 candies a day, and you end up with 6.

You eat that much candy in 6 days

Answer 2

I believe 11 days.

Explanation:

If you're looking for how many days until you had 8 including that day then it would be 11. But if you're just looking for days before, not including the day you got 8, your answer would be 10. Sorry if this doesn't help. Hope you have a good day/night!
