Juan is going on a flight to the beach. his luggage weighs 36 pounds. The bag weighs 4 pounds more than the weight of 2 small bags of beach toys. Which equation can be used to find the weight in pounds of each bag of beach toys?

Let b be the weight of each bag of beach toys. We're given the following relationship:
2b -4 = 36

To solve this equation for b, we type it in our math engine and we get:
b = 20
