Answer:
(10 + 8) - (7 * 2) = x, 4 pounds of birdseed left
Step-by-step explanation:
For the first part of our equation, we will find the total amount of pounds of seeds among the bags (addition).
For the next part, we will find out how much of the bird seed is used (subtraction).
Then, it will equal whatever is left.
(10 + 8) - (7 * 2) = x, x = pounds of bird seed left
Now, we will solve.
(10 + 8) - (7 * 2) = x
(18) - (14) = x
x = 4 pounds of birdseed left
