Emma has 28 books. She wants to distribute them equally among her 4 friends including Marilynn, Layha, Easton and Brighton. How many books will each friend get if b represents the number of books each friend gets? Solve for b: 4b = 28

• b = 20

• b = 11

• b = 6

• b = 7

Answer explanation

To solve the equation a ÷ 4 = 7, we need to multiply both sides by 4. This gives us a = 28. Therefore, the correct answer is a = 28.

Jamo had some candies. If he adds 8 more candies to his collection, he will have 15 candies. Write an equation to represent this scenario.

• x + 8 = 15

• x * 8 = 15

• x / 8 = 15

• x - 8 = 15

Answer explanation

The equation x + 8 = 15 represents the given word problem, where x is the number. By adding 8 to x, we get the result 15. Therefore, x + 8 = 15 is the correct equation.

DaShyrah has 3 apples. During a school trip, Makayla gives her some more apples. If she now has 23 apples, how many apples Makayla give to DaShyrah?

• x = 26

• x = 20

• x = 15

• x = 10

Answer explanation

To solve the equation 3x + 5 = 23, we need to isolate x. Subtracting 5 from both sides gives 3x = 18. Dividing both sides by 3, we find x = 6. Therefore, the correct answer is x = 6.

Emily had 15 apples. She gave some to Ava and was left with 9 apples. How many apples did Emily give to Ava?

• She gave 10 apples

• She gave 6 apples

• She gave 12 apples

• She gave 3 apples

Answer explanation

To solve for y, subtract 9 from both sides of the equation. This gives 15 - y - 9. Simplifying, we get -y = -6. Multiplying both sides by -1, we find y = 6. Therefore, the correct answer is y = 6.

• x - 5 = 10

• x - 10 = 5

Answer explanation

The correct equation is x - 5 = 10 because the problem states that a number is decreased by 5, resulting in 10.
