Charlotte’s ice skates cost $30.45 less than her skateboard. Her ice skates cost $95.28. How much did her skateboard cost? Write and solve a subtraction equation. Max solved the problem: b = the cost of the skateboard b - 30.45 = 95.28 - 30.45 - 30.45 b = $64.83 Do you agree with Max's mathematical thinking?

• Agree

• Disagree

16 = m/8

• m = 98

• m = 128

• m = 2

• m = 136

x + 24 = 44

• x = -20

• x = 68

• x = 20

• x = -68

Select the equation that best represents the situation:

Josiah scored 37 points. This was 5 points more than Alex scored.

• 37 + 5 = k

• k - 5 = 37

• k + 5 = 37

• 5k = 37

Breanna went to the mall and spent $35.00 on shoes. When she she got home she had $40.00 in her purse. which equation can be used to find the amount of money she started with?

• x - 35.00 = 40.00

• 40.00 - 35.00 = x

• 35.00x = 40.00

• 35.00 + x = 40.00

Solve for x
17 = x + 3

• x = 20

• x = 14

• x = 13

• x = 19
