A rectangle's length is 3m less than two times its width. If the length of the rectangle is 9m, what is the width?
Create an equation and solve for the width
length = 9m
length = 2w - 3
--> 9 = 2w -3
12 = 2w
w = 6
2x + 3 = 15
Label each part of the equation
2 is a coefficient
x is a variable
3 is a constant
15 is the resulting answer...
the quotient of 36 and a number "x" is 9
Create an algebraic equation and solve it
36/x = 9
x = 4
p/9 + 14 = 16

x + 13 = -10
create two different word sentences and solve for x
x = -23
possible sentence:
the sum of a certain number and -10, is 13
x plus 13, results in -10
x = 8
create a two-step algebraic equation.... in which the solution is x = 8
6x - 2 = 46

Zerin had $20 to spend on seven raffle tickets. After buying them, he had $6. How much did each ticket cost?
AND, what would be the total amount spent if Zerin bought 23 tickets?
Each ticket cost $2
if zerin bought 23 tickets, he would spend 46 dollars.
Using only addition, add eight 8s to get the number 1,000.
888 + 88 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 1,000
the product of 3 and a certain number is 54
create an algebraic equation and solve it
3x = 54
x = 18
x = -5
create two different (two-step) algebraic equations... in which the result is -5
3x -14 = -5
2x - 13 = =5

Mrs. Jones was very proud of her apple tree. One autumn, after harvesting her apples, she called her three sons together. “Here are 150 apples,” she said. “I want you to take them to the market tomorrow and sell them for me.” She gave Paul 15 apples, Nick 50, and Ben 85. “Your job,” added Mrs. Jones, “is to sell the apples in such a way that each of you brings home the same amount of money.” How do they do it?
The first buyer purchases 12 dozen apples at $1 per dozen. Paul sells him one dozen and has three apples left; Nick sells him four dozen and has two apples left; and Ben sells him seven dozen and has one apple left. Then a second buyer comes along and buys all their remaining apples for $3 a piece. The three brothers head home with $10 each.
The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 60. What is the smallest of these numbers?
consecutive = one after the other
example 1, 2, 3 or 6, 7, 8
x + (x+2) + (x+2+2) = 60
the smallest number is 18
