If thenumber of remaining books is 'X', choose the equation that fits the story.a) (12 x 4) + (3 x 2) = Xb) (12 x 3) - (4 x 2) = XC) (12 x 4) - (3 x 2) = Xd) (12 x 2) - (3 x 4) = X

Respuesta :

We know that

• There are 12 books in each of the 4 shelves of a rack.

,

• Jamie takes away 3 books from each of the two shelves.

First, we multiply to know the total number of books there are

[tex]12\times4[/tex]

This product represents the total number of books.

Additionally, Jamie takes away 3 books from two shelves, that means we have to subtract the following product

[tex]3\times2[/tex]

Therefore, the expression that models this situation is

[tex](12\times4)-(3\times2)=x[/tex]
