Write an equation:
Monique had a collection of cars. She got 8 cars for her bday. She now has 25 cars. How many did she have in her collection before her bday? Let c= number of cars.
c = 25 - 8
I assume these are toy cars. :-)
Yes mam...
Thank u
You're welcome.
To find the number of cars Monique had in her collection before her birthday, we can use the equation: c + 8 = 25, where c represents the number of cars she had before her birthday.
To isolate the variable c, we need to subtract 8 from both sides of the equation:
c + 8 - 8 = 25 - 8
This simplifies to:
c = 17
Therefore, Monique had 17 cars in her collection before her birthday.
