Jane has $3 and 10 dimes in her pile. Jeremiah has 40 dimes in his pile. If Jane gives Jeremiah $2 and Jeremiah gives Jane 20 dimes, will the two piles still be equal in value? Explain.
Yes. $2 is equal to 20 dimes. Jane and Jeremiah subtracted the value of $2 and then added the same amount to each pile. The value of each pile is still equal.
Find the first step in solving the equation 24 = y + 16.
A. 24 x 16 = y - 16 x 16
B. 24 ÷ 16 = y + 16 ÷ 16
C. 0 = y + 16 - 24
D. 24 - 16 = y + 16 - 16
D. 24 - 16 = y + 16 - 16
