Q. Bert made 3 batches of his uncle's signature spicy wing sauce for a barbecue last weekend.

Bert used 24 ounces of hot sauce in all to make the wing sauce.Which equation can you use to find u, the amount of hot sauce Bert's uncle usually puts in each batch of spicy wing sauce?Choices:(A) 3u−2=24(B) 2u−3=24(C) 3(u−2)=24(D) 2(u−3)=24How much hot sauce does Bert's uncle usually put in each batch of spicy wing sauce?Write your answer as a whole number or a simplified fraction.____ ounces
Identify equation: Identify the correct equation to represent the situation.Bert made 3 batches, each with 2 ounces less hot sauce than usual. He used 24 ounces in total.The equation that fits this description is 3(u−2)=24, where u is the usual amount of hot sauce per batch.
Solve equation: Solve the equation 3(u−2)=24. First, divide both sides by 3 to isolate the term with u. (u−2)=324, (u−2)=8.
Find u: Solve for u.Add 2 to both sides to find u.u=8+2,u=10.
