Answer:
A) 23+x = 35
x = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking you to find the equation and variable that best represents the scenario. We know that Emily had 35 dollars and had 7 dollars after paying for everything. This means that 7 plus what she spent must equal 35. However, we only know the cost of the ticket. So, add the cost of the ticket to the money left to figure out part of the equation. This equals 23 dollars. Therefore, whatever is left must be what she spent on lunch. So, the equation should look like 23 + x = 35. This is because the $23 is the ticket/the amount left and the x is the cost of lunch. Together they equal what Emily brought to the fair.
