Question

I don't understand this question can someone help me with this please, please explain!! and thank you for the help!! If u dont know try your best :D

Answer 1

Answer:

The second choice

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's give turkey the variable t. Since the turkey is 142 calories, and calories are the units, 1t = 142.

Let's give the chicken the variable x. Since the chicken is 58 calories less than the turkey, the equation you would have to set up to get what the chicken's calories are is: 142 - 58 = 1x.

Whatever x equals is the number of calories the chicken has, and the equation has to show the number of calories in the chicken being added with 58 to equal what the turkey has.

since 142 - 58 is 84,

x = 84, and the equation being used needs to add 84 and 58 together.

Answer 2

Answer:

A)

x - 58 = 142

x = 200

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, you are using subtraction. So, to solve this you will need to use addition because addition is the inverse operation for subtraction.

First, add the factor and the result together.

58 + 142 = 200 (use standard algorithm to solve)

Then, see if it's correct!

200-58 = 142

Its correct!

Therefore, A would be the correct answer.
