Write a story that could be represented by this tape diagram (on today's slides).
Stories vary.
How would I solve the equation x + 5 = 7.5? What is the solution?
Use inverse operations! Do -5 on both sides. The answer is x = 2.5.
For the following equation:
How many groups do we have?
What is in each group?
What is the total?
4(x - 16) = 90
Groups: 4
In each group: x - 16
Total: 90
Solve: 6x + 8 = 72. Write your answer as a mixed number.
x = 10 2/3
Write an equation for the story:

3x + 5 = -7
What is the solution to the hanger diagram? On today's slides.
z = 2.3
Solve: 7 = 3( 5 + x ).
Write your answer as a mixed number!
x = - 2 2/3
Draw a tape diagram for the following equation. Then solve for the variable.
5.5x + 10 = 120
x = 20
The tape diagram should have 5.5 x in a box, 10 in a box, and 120 as the total (mustache).
Write an equation for the following story, then solve.
A baby giraffe weighed 132 pounds at birth. He gained weight at a steady rate for the first 7 months until his weight reached 538 pounds. How much did he gain each month?
x = 58 pounds
