Answer 1

SOLUTION

TO CHOOSE THE CORRECT OPTION

Shanice won 88 pieces of gum playing the bean bag toss at the county fair. That was 4 more than twice as many as Greg. How many pieces of gum did Greg win? Which equation can be used to solve the problem?

A. 4x+2=88

B. 4x−2=88

C. 2x+4=88

D. 2x−4=88

EVALUATION

Let Greg won x pieces of gum

Now it is given that Shanice won 4 more than twice as many as Greg.

So total pieces of gum won by Shanice

$= \sf{2x + 4}$

Also it is given that Shanice won 88 pieces of gum playing the bean bag toss at the county fair.

So by the given condition

$\sf{2x + 4 = 88}$

We now solve for x

$\sf{2x + 4 = 88}$

$\sf{ \implies \: 2x = 84}$

$\sf{ \implies \: x = 42}$

So Greg won 42 pieces of gum

FINAL ANSWER

1. Greg won 42 pieces of gum

2. The equation can be used to solve the problem

C. 2x+4 = 88
