What is an Equation ?

An equation is formed when two algebraic expressions are equated by an equal sign.

It is asked to calculate the number of acorns that each animal hid.

Total number of acorns hid  =  number of acorns hid per tree * number of trees    

Let   T be the number of trees chipmunk used

For chipmunk:    = 3*T

For squirrel:   = 4*(T-4)

 As both the animals hid same number of acorns.

    3T = 4(T-4)      

    3T = 4T - 16      

      16 = T

Therefore the chipmunk hid 16 * 3 = 48 acorns

and the squirrel hid 4(16-4) = 48 acorns.
