Which equation could be used to find x, the weight of the empty glass jar?

A.
703 = 4x ÷ 72
B.
703 = 4(72) + x
C.
703 = 4x + 72
D.
703 = 72x + 4

Respuesta :

Answer:

B.  

703 = 4(72) + x

Step-by-step explanation:

total weight of marbles and jar = weight of marbles + weight of jar

weight of marbles = number of marbles * weight of each marble

                                = 72 *4

total weight of marbles and jar = 703

weight of jar=x


total weight of marbles and jar = weight of marbles + weight of jar

703 = 72*4 + x
