What does the variable 'p' represent in the equation 2p = 20?

Back

In the equation 2p = 20, 'p' represents the number of pounds of oranges that can be purchased for $20.

Front

How do you solve the equation 2p = 20?

Back

To solve 2p = 20, divide both sides by 2: p = 20 ÷ 2, so p = 10.

Front

What is the equation to find how many packages of diapers Korey can buy with $40 if each costs $8?

Back

The equation is 8d = 40, where 'd' is the number of packages.

Front

How do you solve the equation 8d = 40?

Back

To solve 8d = 40, divide both sides by 8: d = 40 ÷ 8, so d = 5.

Front

What does 'm' represent in the equation 29 + m = 41?

Back

In the equation 29 + m = 41, 'm' represents the amount of money Trevor received for cleaning the attic.

Front

How do you solve the equation 29 + m = 41?

Back

To solve 29 + m = 41, subtract 29 from both sides: m = 41 - 29, so m = 12.

Front

What is the equation to find how much money Kevin earned washing cars?

Back

The equation is x + 42 = 95, where 'x' is the amount Kevin earned.

Front

How do you solve the equation x + 42 = 95?

Back

To solve x + 42 = 95, subtract 42 from both sides: x = 95 - 42, so x = 53.

Front

What does 'y' represent in the equation y = 3.5x?

Back

In the equation y = 3.5x, 'y' represents the total amount Daniel earns from selling 'x' subscriptions.
