Which equation models the problem below if c represents the number of puppies whose eyes are closed? there are 15 puppies in a photograph, and 11 of them have their eyes open. how many puppies have their eyes closed? c – 11 = 15 11 – c = 15 15 + c = 11 11 + c = 15

First you must take into account the variable that is being defined for this case:
 c = represents the number of puppies whose eyes are closed.
 We can then write the following equation:
 15 = 11 + c
 Rewriting the equation:
 11 + c = 15
 Clearing c:
 c = 15-11
 c = 4
 4 puppies have their eyes closed
 
 11 + c = 15
 4 puppies have their eyes closed

Suredude why not right
