Q. The students in Kevin's gym class have the option of playing volleyball or dodgeball. There are 29 students in his class. Of those students, 16 signed up for volleyball and the rest signed up for dodgeball.Let d represent the number of students who signed up for dodgeball. Which equation models the problem?Choices:(A) 16+d=29(B) d−16=29Solve this equation to find the number of students who signed up for dodgeball.____ students
Understand the problem: Step 1: Understand the problem and set up the equation.Kevin's class has 29 students. 16 play volleyball, and the rest play dodgeball. We need to find how many play dodgeball, represented by d.The equation that models this situation is the total number of students equals the sum of students playing volleyball and dodgeball.Mathematically, this is represented as 16+d=29.
Set up equation: Step 2: Solve the equation for d. We start with the equation: 16+d=29 To isolate d, subtract 16 from both sides: d=29−16d=13
