Bags of clementines have 12 each. For a party, Sal, Trisha, and Joe each brought bags of clementines. Altogether, there were 180 clementines. Sal brought 4 bags and Joe brought 6. Write the equation to determine how many bags Trisha brought, t .(2 points)
The number of clementines that Sal brought is 4 * 12 = <<4*12=48>>48 clementines
The number of clementines that Joe brought is 6 * 12 = <<6*12=72>>72 clementines
The total number of clementines brought by Sal and Joe is 48 + 72 = <<48+72=120>>120 clementines
The total number of clementines brought by all three people is 180, so Trisha brought 180 - 120 = <<180-120=60>>60 clementines.
Since each bag has 12 clementines, Trisha brought 60 / 12 = <<60/12=5>>5 bags.
So the equation to determine how many bags Trisha brought is t = 5. Answer: \boxed{t=5}.
