Question

Reggie works at Bright Bouquets flower shop.

Yesterday, he made 4 centerpieces, which would normally use up an entire shipment of roses. In the shop's latest shipment,

12 roses were wilted, so Reggie couldn't use them. He used the remaining 36 roses in the centerpieces.

Which equation can you use to find how many roses, x, Reggie normally uses in a centerpiece?:?????????? HELP

Answer 1

(36+12)divided by 4=x
X= 12
48dividedby4=x

Answer 2

He normally uses 12 roses in a centerpiece

Explanation:

The equation he can use will be,

4x - 12 = 36

4x = 48

x = 12
