Question

Janelle is in charge of bringing in dry erase markers for everyone in her math group to use to work on a project. She brings 3 markers for each person in her group and 5 extra markers for everyone to share. If Janelle brings in 23 markers in all, which equation represents the information?

Let x represent the number of students in Janelle’s group.

Answer 1

The answer is D...

Explanation:

Answer 2

x = 6 or .... 23 = 3x + 5

Explanation:

if we denote x to no of people, and amount of marker to each person is 3

so total markers are 3x... 5 extra markers make it 3x + 5.

total markers brought is 23 so 23 = 3x +5

if I understood the question right
