Question

You buy 8 packs of markers with 20markers in each pack. You already had 10 markers. Which equation shows how to calculate the total number of markers, m, you have?

Answer 1

The equation would be m = 10 + 8x, where x = 20

Answer 2

Answer:

$m=10+8\cdot{x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If m is the totla markes you have, the number of markers will be the orginal amount you have plus the amount of markers you buy. The amount of markers that you buy is:

$=20\cdot{8}=160$

The amount of markers that you buy is 160. The x is the equation should be the number of markers in the pack. The equation is:

$m=10+8\cdot{x}$
