Martin has an 18-cup container of flour that he uses for muffins only. He uses 3 cups of the flour for every batch of muffins he makes. Write an equation to show how much flower is left in the container after x batches of muffins.
Answer:
\(y=18-x\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the no. of batches of muffins
Each batch requires cup of flour = 3
So, No. of cups required for x batches = 3x
Martin has an 18-cup container of flour that he uses for muffins only.
So, remaining flour = 18 - 3x
Let y denotes the cups of remaining flour
So, \(y=18-x\)
So, an equation to show how much flower is left in the container after x batches of muffins is \(y=18-x\)
