Answer:

6 + t= 10

4 dog treats

Explanation:

Luca took his dogs out for a walk.

He gave his dogs 6 dog treats.

Luca's dad came back home that same day and gave the dogs "t" more treats

This means "t" more treats added to the initial 6 treats.

6 + t

All together that same day, Luca's dogs got a total of 10 treats

6 + t = 10

Hence the equation to describe this situation can be written as 6 + t= 10

The number of treats that Luca's dad gave to the dogs can be calculated as follows

6 + t= 10

t = 10-6

t= 4

Hence the number of treats that Luca's dad gave to the dogs is 4 treats
