Tegan needs to make 68 more snow blocks to finish building an igloo.
Write an equation for the number of blocks Tegan still needs to make, m, when she has completed c blocks.


Tegan completes 33 blocks. How many blocks does Tegan still need to make to finish the igloo?

Respuesta :

The answer is m=68-c

Answer:  The required equation is  [tex]m=68-c.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Tegan needs to make 68 more snow blocks to finish building an igloo.

We are to write an equation for the number of blocks Tegan still needs to make, 'm' when she has completed 'c' blocks.

When Tegan completes 'c' blocks, the number of blocks that still needs to make will be

[tex](68-c).[/tex]

Since, the number of blocks that Tegan still needs to make is represented by 'm', so the required equation is given by

[tex]m=68-c.[/tex]

Now, if Tegan completes 33 blocks, then  

c = 33.

Therefore, the number of blocks that Tegan still need to make to finish the igloo is

[tex]m=68-c=68-33=35.[/tex]

Thus, the required equation is  [tex]m=68-c.[/tex]
