Question

Stephanie bought 12 roses. She gave away 4 of them. How many roses, r, does Stephanie have left? Choose the answer that represents the correct equation and solution r – 4 = 12 r = 16 r + 4 = 12 r = 8 12r = 4 r = 3 4 + 12 = r r = 16

Answer 1

r+4=12

r=8

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: The correct equation is r + 4 = 12 and the correct answer is, r = 8

Explanation:

Here r represents the remaining roses she has when she lost 4 flowers,

Thus, the total number of flower she has = r + 4

But, the initial number of roses = 12

Therefore, r + 4 = 12

Which is the required equation for finding the remaining flowers.

Also,

⇒
`r + 4 = 12`

⇒
`r = 8`

Which is the required number of the remaining flowers.

⇒ Second Option is correct.
