A group of 5 friends each have x action figures in his or her collection. Each friend buys 11 more
action figures. Now the 5 friends have a total of 120 action figures. How many action figures did
each friend start with?
Which equation models the problem?
OA. 5x + 11 = 120
OB. 11(x + 5) = 120
OC. X+45 = 120
OD. 5(x + 11)= 120

D. 5(x + 11)= 120

Step-by-step explanation:

5 is the number of friends, and they have an unknown number of action figures before buying 11 more.

So we multiply 5 by the number of action figures they have (x) and add 11 because they all bought 11.

Then we make it equal to 120 because thats the total number of action figures.

(I know this isnt part of the question but if you solve for x, you find out that they all had 13 action figures to begin with)

Hope it helps!
