Phoenix brought 2 eggs per day during an office trip. How many days will Phoenix have to spend on the office trip before he will have brought a total of 10 eggs? Write and solve an equation to find the answer.

5 days

Step-by-step explanation:

total eggs = 2 eggs x number of days

let the total eggs be T and number of days be D

hence, we can re-write the sentence above as an equation.

T = 2D

we are given that the total number of eggs is 10

hence T = 10,

10 = 2D (rearrange)

2D = 10 (divide both sides by 2)

D = 10 / 2

D = 5

hence he would have spent 5 days on the office trip
