The correct representation of equation is : 18=114-6b
Since the total number of brownies that Amy baked is 114, minus 6 bags containing a specific amount of brownies, will yield a difference of 18 brownies left.
Equation in finding b.
Transpose -6b to the other side of the equation so that it will turn into 6b, and also transpose 18 on the other side of the equation, making it -18.
18=114-6b
6b=114-18
6b=96
Divide both side by 6 in order to find the value of b.
b = 16
Therefore, each bag contains 16 brownies.
