In the card problem, what is the first step to set up the algebraic equation?

• Set 172 as half of the total number of cards

• Divide the total number of cards by 2

• Subtract 172 from the total number of cards

• Multiply the total number of cards by 2

What is the algebraic equation used to solve the card problem?

• 1/2 * X = 172

• X + 172 = 1/2

• X - 172 = 1/2

• 2 * X = 172
