Question

Rudy can hold 95 gummy bears in his mouth. He already has 34 gummy bears in his mouth. What equality would show the number of gummy bears, `b`, that can still fit in his mouth?

Answer 1

The amount he has in his mouth plus the amount he can still fit is equal to the max he can hold in his mouth.

Explanation:

This means that:

`b + 34 = 95`

Then if you minus `34` from both sides:

`b + 34 - 34 = 95 - 34`

`b = 61`

Rudy can still fit `61` gummy bears into his mouth.
