Answer:
Option b) 3x - 22 = 38 should be the correct answer.
Explanation:
If we solve the equation, we get:
x = 20
So each bag had 20 apples. In total, 3 bags held 60 apples. If he gives away 22 apples to his friends, he has 38 remaining and this satisfies the discription given in the question.
Therefore, option B) 3x -22 = 38 should be your answer.
