After collecting eggs from his chickens. Dale puts the eggs into cartons to sell. Dale fills 15 cartons and has 7 eggs left over. Each carton holds 12 eggs. How many eggs did Dale collect?

187 eggs were collected

Step-by-step explanation:

If each carton holds 12 eggs and he filled 15 cartons, then you do 15 multiplied by 12. And since there were 7 eggs left over, you add those to the answer to 12 multiplied 15 and you get 187.

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
