Emanuel has 12 trading cards and then buys some more cards at the store. His aunt joan him a package of six cards for his birthday. He has a total of 48 cards. Let x = the number of cards he bought. This is modeled by the equations 48 = x + 18

a]. How does the equation accurately model the scenario?

b]. Solve 48 = * + 18

A) the equation accuretly models this scenario because Emanuel has a total of 48 cards. He bought some (X) and his aunt gave him 18. In order to find the number of cards he bought you set the number of cards he bought and the number of cards he got from his aunt equal to the number of cards he has. B) 48 = X + 18 Subtract 18 over 30=X He bought 30 cards from the store. 48 + 30+18
