Ms. Douglas is working to get ready for field day at Eastside! She is working with all of the teachers to create groups for each game. There will be 11 stations with 3 teachers at each. There will also be 14 extra teachers walking around to help. How many teachers will be outside at field day in all?

Which equation matches the story problem?

• (3 + 11) + 14 = t

• (3 x 11) + 14 = t
