Part B
Create an equation modeling the given situation that matches the balance scale.

Team A, Team B, and Team C collected 12 pounds of trash in all.

Team A + Team B + Team C = 12

Team B collected 3 pounds of trash and team C collected 5 pounds of trash.

Let the amount of trash collected by Team A be x.

So, x+3+5=12

This can be simplified as x+8=12

Step-by-step explanation:

$450.00 for 6 weeks

or

$300

step-by-step explanation:

$200.00 for first week $50.00 x5 equals $250 plus $200 equals $450.00 for six weeks.

$200 for first week

$200 x 0.10 = $20

$20 x 5 = $100

$200 + $100 = $300
