Nina had 17 marbles in a bag. Her mother put a handful of marbles in the bag. When Nina counts her marbles, she discovers she now has 34 of them. Which of the following equations will help Nina solve for the number of marbles, m, that her mom put in the bag? 17 + 34 = m 17 + m = 34 17m = 34 m − 17 = 34

Abucket of paint has spilled on a tile floor. the paint flow can be expressed with the function p(t) = 6(t), where t represents time in minutes and p represents how far the paint is spreading. the flowing paint is creating a circular pattern on the tile. the area of the pattern can be expressed as a(p) = 3.14(p)^2 part a: find the area of the circle of spilled paint as a function of time, or a[p(t)]. show your work. part b: how large is the area of spilled paint after 8 minutes? you may use 3.14 to approximate pi in this problem.
