Arabelle bought 4 boxes of glass jars from a garage sale.
Each box contained 12 jars.
A few jars were broken and had to be thrown away.
Arabelle had 45 jars after she threw away the broken jars.
Which equation can be used to find "b", the number of broken jars Rita threw away?
(4 x b) - 12 = 45
(4 x 12) + b = 45
(4 x 12) - b = 45
(4 + 12) - b = 45
Hattie made 24 tacos. Her family ate 13 of them. Then Hattie made 12 more tacos.
Which equation can be used to find "t", the number of tacos she has now?
