Bert made 3 batches of his uncle's signature spicy wing sauce for a barbecue last weekend. He didn't want the sauce to be too spicy, so he tweaked the recipe, reducing the amount of
hot sauce he put in each batch by 2 ounces. Bert used 24 ounces of hot sauce in all to make
the wing sauce.
Which equation can you use to find u, the amount of hot sauce Bert's uncle usually puts in
each batch of spicy wing sauce?
3(u - 2) - 24
2(0 - 3) - = 24
3u - 2 = 24
2u - 3 = 24
How much hot sauce does Bert's uncle usually put in each batch of spicy wing sauce?
