Select the best equation that represents this scenario: Lisa is cooking muffins. The recipe calls for 7.5 cups of sugar. She has already put in 2 cups. How many more cups does she need to put in?

Hey there!

The best equation for this would be [tex]x = 7.5 - 2[/tex], with [tex]x[/tex] being the number of cups she needs left.

Another equation could be [tex]7.5 = x + 2[/tex], with [tex]x[/tex] being the number of cups she needs left.

A final equation, depending on your answer choices, could be [tex]2 = 7.5 - x[/tex], with [tex]x[/tex] being the number of cups she needs left.

Hope it helps and have a great day!
