Bert made 3 batches of his uncle's signature spicy wing sauce for a barbecue last weekend. He didn't want the sauce to be too spicy, so he tweaked the recipe, reducing the amount of hot sauce he put in each batch by 2 ounces. Bert used 24 ounces of hot sauce in all to make the wing sauce.
Which equation can you use to find u, the amount of hot sauce Bert's uncle usually puts in each batch of spicy wing sauce?
Let u be the amount of hot sauce Bert's uncle usually puts in each batch of spicy wing sauce.
The equation to find u is: 3u - 2(3) = 24.
