p = 53 - 34
Thank u Ms. SUE
You're welcome, Amy.
To write this situation in an equation, you can use the given information and assign variables to the unknown values.
Let's say:
p = number of pictures Marcus took of the sunset
Based on the information provided, Marcus had 34 pictures on his camera before taking pictures of the sunset. After taking the sunset pictures, the number of pictures on his camera increased to 53.
So, the equation can be written as:
34 + p = 53
In this equation, 34 represents the initial number of pictures on his camera, and p represents the number of pictures Marcus took of the sunset. The sum of these two values should equal the final count of 53 pictures on his camera.
