Using Equations to solve problems

Maddie is 2 years older than Vince. Which equation will help you find Maddie's (m) age if you know Vince's (v) age?

• m=v+2

• m=v-2

• v=m-2

Find the width (w) of a rectangular room with a length (l) of 60 feet and an area of 2400 square feet.

• w = 40

• w = 80

• w = 400

• w = 800

Maddie has read 79 pages of her book. Which equation shows how many more pages she has to read?

[t = total number of pages;

r = how many more pages she has to read]

• t + 79 = r

• t - 79 = r

• r - 79 = t

If she has 184 pages left to read, how many total pages are in Maddie's book?

• t = 341

• t = 284

• t = 263

• t = 105
