Question

Tomas makes a photobook online and sends copies to 4 family members. There is a $6 shipping charge for each photobook. He pays a total of $112.

Which equation can be used to find the price, x, of one photobook?

4x + 6 = 112
4(x + 6) = 112
42 - 6 = 112
4(x – 6) = 112

Answer 1

4(x + 6 )= 112

Answer 2

Answer 4(x+6)=112



4x+6=112 would only pay shipping for 1 book
4(x-6)=112 is taking away money
42-6=112 maybe this means 4x-6=112 but that would still be wrong
