Sanjay's dad has asked Sanjay and his little brothers to rake the leaves in their yard. They rake all afternoon and fill a number of bags with leaves. Then, when Sanjay isn't looking, his
brothers empty 4 of the bags to make a giant leaf pile! Sanjay is frustrated that only 6 bags
of leaves remain.
Which equation can you use to find the total number of bags b that Sanjay and his brothers
fill with leaves?
= 6
4
b + 4 = 6
b - 4 = 6
4b = 6
Solve this equation for b to find the total number of bags Sanjay and his brothers fill with
leaves.
