Question

Matthew has a bag of green & yellow skittles. There are 38 total in the bag.

If g = green Skittles & y = yellow Skittles, which equation represents this?

A.g - y = 38
B.g + y = 38
C.gy = 38
D.g/y = 38

Answer 1

The answer is B. g+y=38

Answer 2

As per the problem we have

Matthew has a bag of green & yellow skittles. There are 38 total in the bag.

If g = green Skittles & y = yellow Skittles,

Then, sum of the two skittles will be equal to 38

which means
`g+y=38`

Hence, the equation representing the given data can be written as :

Hence , option B,
`g+y=38`
