Melissa and Rachel like to make funny hats. Melissa has made 202020 zebra-printed hats, and Rachel has made hhh striped hats. Together they have made a total of 424242 hats. Write an equation to describe this situation.

Answer 1

42= 20 +h

Explanation:

Given from the problem statement

Melissa has made 20 zebra-printed hats

and Rachel has made h amount of striped hats

and also the total amounts of hats made by both of them is 42 hats

We can write a simple equation for the scenario as

`42= 20 +h`

We can solve the equation to know the amount of hats made by Rachel

`42= 20+h\\\\h= 42-20\\\\h= 22`

Hence Rachel has made 22 hats
