Nina had 17 marbles in a bag. her mother put a handful of marbles in the bag. when nina counts her marbles, she discovers she now has 34 of them. which of the following equations will nina solve for the number of marbles, m, that her mom put in the bag?

17 + 34 = m
17 + m = 34
17m = 34
m − 17 = 34

The second equation is correct. Nina initally had 17 marbles in her bag. Her mother placed m marbles into her bag. After counting, she now has 34 marbles. Part of this 34 marbles is already her initial 17 marbles. Therefore, 17 marbles initially + m unknown marbles = 34 marbles. The equation 17 + m = 34 is the answer.
