    Cameron and Carissa have a lemonade stand. On Saturday, they bought 120 lemons to make lemonade. Cameron used 15 lemons each hour for 3 hours, and Carissa used 20 lemons each hour for 2 hours. Which equation can be used to find x, the number of lemons they have left?
    120 - (3x15) + (2x20) = x
    (3x15) + (2x20) - 120 = x
    120 - (3+2) x (15+20) = x
    120 - (3x15) - (2x20) = x
