Question

3 times what Emily spent. Grace spent $36. Write and
solve an equation to find how much Emily spent. Let x
represent how much Emily spent.

and write an equation to represent the following description and use x as the variable

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$39 plus the amount of money Grace had spent, $36.

39 + 36 = 75.

That gets rid of the "39 less than" part. But in order to find out how much money Emily spent you need to triple 75.

75 x 3 = 225

Therefore, x = 225 or $225 was the amount that Emily spent.
