Question

Darin planted 24 packets of seeds in his garden. He planted a combination of bean seeds and corn seeds. If Darin planted 8 packets of bean seeds, which set of steps can be used to find n, the number of packets of corn seeds Darin planted?

Answer 1

The number of packets of corn seeds Darin planted is 16 packets.

How to write and solve equation

• Total packets of seeds = 24
• Packets of bean seeds = 8
• Packets of corn seeds = n

The equation:

Total Packets = Bean seeds + corn seeds

24 = 8 + n

• subtract 8 from both sides

24 - 8 = n

16 = n

Therefore, the number of packets of corn seeds Darin planted is 16 packets.
