Solving Equations

1) x + 5 = 9
4 + 5 = 9
There are many ways to figure out this equation. One way is to work backwards. 9 - 5 = 4 .

2) x - 2 = 9
11 - 2 = 9
To work backwards with this question, you go 9 + 2 = 11

3) 3x = 8.1
8.1 / 3 = 2.7
3(2.7) = 8.1

Solving equations

So here is an equation a+4=5. So one way to solve it is to take 5 and subtract it by 4 cause those are the numbers in the equation and you get 1. So that means a=1. Lets put that in the equation. Now its 1+4=5. Now that makes sense That is how i do it. Simple you may have a different way

Math

In math we learned about math symbols. This is one of those symbols 5x. The number isn't always 5 it can be lots of different numbers and it means a number multiplied by 5.

Symbols and words

In math today we learned how to use symbols and words. You use these strategies to answer questions like this: Sarah grew 5 inches, since you don't know how tall Sarah is you use a variable(letters are variables). So the correct answer is n+5. The n stands for here height before she grew.
