Question Prompt: Question Prompt: How much does the bag of Golden Delicious apples weigh?
Identify Equation: Identify the correct equation: Since the total weight of apples is 44 pounds and the Honeycrisp apples weigh 20 pounds, the equation to find the weight of the Golden Delicious apples, w, is w+20=44.
Solve Equation: Solve the equation: Subtract 20 from both sides to isolate w.w+20−20=44−20w=24
