Question

I have a question how would I write this as a word equation? The Girl Scouts are having their annual cookie sale.
Emily sells 5 boxes of cookies each day.
After 7 days, Emily still has 18 boxes left to sell.
How many boxes of cookies did Emily have at first?

Answer 1

let A equal the original amount.

A - 5(7) = 18

I think so, at least. I'm a little distracted.

Answer 2

Yeah, actually, that should be it. xP
