Angelique had 20 tokens to use for games at the arcade. She lost some of them. Her dad tripled the tokens she had left. Angelique wrote the expression 3(20−t) to find the number of tokens she has now, where t is the number of tokens she lost. Dante correctly wrote another expression, 60−3t, to find the number of tokens Angelique has now. Use the drop-down menus to explain what each part of Angelique's and Dante's expressions mean.Angelique had 20 tokens to use for games at the arcade. She lost some of them.

Answer:  Both the expressions are exactly same . Both are representing the number of tokens she has now.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The total number of tokens Angelique has= 20

Since, she lost some of them, let the number of lost tokens be t.

Then, The remaining  tokens she has = 20-t

Then her father triples the tokens she has.

now, the number of token she has=[tex]3(20-t)[/tex]....>Angelique's expression

By using distributive property,

The number of token she has=[tex]3\times20-3t[/tex]

⇒The number of token she has=[tex]60-3t[/tex]...> Dante's expressions

Hence, both are the same expressions. Both are representing the number of tokens she has now.

Answer:

3:     tripples Angelique tokens    

20:     number of tokens she starts with  

t:          number of tokens she lost

20−t: the number of tokens she  has left after she loses some

Dante's Expression: 60−3t

60:         three times the number she starts with

t:          number of tokens she lost  

3t:          three times the number of tokens she lost

60−3t: number of tokens she has after her dad triples them
