Respuesta :

Answer

12+m=26

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m represent the number of dollars Richard spent at the movies.

If Jordan spent 12$ at the movies theatre and together they spent 26$ then 26 minus 12 should give you the amount Richard spent.

Answer:

12 + m = 26

Step-by-step explanation:

Richard spent an unknown amount of dollars at the movie theater, which we're calling m$, and Jordan has spent $12 at the movie theater. All together, they have spent $26.

We can represent the amount of dollars that Richard and Jordan spent as a sum:                                              m + 12

We know that together they spent $26.

We can set these two expressions equal to describe this situation with an equation:

m + 12 = 26

We can also write this as 12 + m = 26, 26 = 12 + m, or 26 = m + 12

The equation is m + 12 = 26, or any of the equivalent equations above.
