From a plate of 27 apple slices, each of 4 friends ate the same number of apple slices. There were 3 apple slices left.Which equation can be used to find the number of apple slices each friend ate?a 3x + 4 = 274x + 3 = 273(x+4)= 274(x + 3) = 27

We have 27 apple slices
each of 4 friends ate the same number of apple slices
there were 3 apple slices left
So we have
x+3=27
but there were 4 friends
so 4x+3=27
The 4x for the number of slices by a friend plus the slices left equal the number of slices
Answer: 4x+3=27
