Emma took 35 pictures of flowers on a nature walk and an additional 3 pictures of each bird she saw. She took a total of 83 pictures. Which equation can be used to find the number of birds, x, that Emma saw on her walk?

35x + 3x = 83

35 + 3 = 83x

35x + 3 = 83

35 + 3x = 83

35 + 3x = 83

anonymous · Answer

The X represents how many birds she saw. We don't know how many birds she saw, so the X would be with the 3. We know how many photos she took of the flowers, (35.) So only the 3 has an X. Do you now know what the answer is?
