Front

What equation represents the scenario where Shaun has four boxes with the same number of items, and after removing 1 item from each box, he has 28 items left?

Back

4(x - 1) = 28

Front

What is a tape diagram and how can it be used to represent the distribution of problems assigned to students in a tutoring session?

Back

A tape diagram is a visual representation that uses rectangles to show the parts of a whole. It can illustrate how many problems each student receives and how many are assigned in total.

Front

If Andre wants to save $40 and donates $2 each week, how much does he need to earn weekly to reach his goal in 5 weeks?

Back

$10 per week.

Front

How do you set up an equation to represent the situation where Lin has 90 flyers, gives some to volunteers, and has 12 left?

Back

Let x be the number of flyers given to each volunteer. The equation is 90 - 3x = 12.

Front

What is the purpose of using a tape diagram in problem-solving?

Back

To visually break down a problem into manageable parts, making it easier to understand relationships and calculations.

Front

Define a variable in the context of algebraic expressions.

Back

A variable is a symbol, often represented by a letter, that stands for an unknown value in mathematical expressions or equations.

Front

What does it mean to solve an equation?

Back

To find the value of the variable that makes the equation true.

Front

How can you represent the total number of items in multiple boxes using an equation?

Back

If each box contains x items and there are n boxes, the total is represented as nx.

Front

What is the significance of the number 28 in Shaun's problem?

Back

It represents the total number of items left after removing 1 item from each of the 4 boxes.

Front

Explain how to interpret the solution of an equation in a real-world context.

Back

The solution provides the value of the variable that answers the original question posed by the problem.
