Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon

Let's take this problem step-by-step:

Let's consider the information given:

  • there are 4 gifts bags that contain 'x' pencil

            Total number of pencils = 4 * x = 4x

  • 3 more pencils are added to each bag

             Total number of pencils = 4 * (x + 3)

  • in total there are 36 pencils

              4(x+3) = 36

Answer: 4(x+3) = 36

Hope that helps!
