Task 2 ($300) - Writing Equations to Represent Situations
An equation is a mathematical statement that two expressions are equal. An equation may or may not contain variables. For an equation that has a variable, a solution of the equation is a value of the variable that makes the equation true.
Represent these real-world situations with an equation that has a variable. Then solve each using a balanced equation. Substitute your solution for the missing variable in the equation to ensure it is the correct answer.
