D.= 7s = 12s = 3-4s = 4s-3 11. http://www.greenazibo.com/ How To Solve Analyzing the statement it shows Oak Street is (equals) 3 less (negative) than 4 times (multiply) Poplar street solar panels, s, In this case, 3 is a negative number because of the statement, "3 less than". 4 is a positive number and then it is multiplied by the variable s because of the statement, "4 times Poplar street solar panels, s". = -3 + 4s Now rearrange the formula to look like one of the answers above; Choice D is the correct answer. G-Zibo Tip: Many times word problems such as these can be very frustrating and confusing. It is important that if you are feeling frustrated by this type of problem try again after when you are feeling refreshed and have a clear mind. As the concept sinks in by repeating the problem (practice, practice, practice) try substituting the solar panels for another object and the street names for another location. Make up your own word problem and solve (practice, practice, practice). 12. http://www.greenazibo.com/ Solve and explain simple one step equations using inverse operations involving whole numbers Problem 6.What is the value of n in the equation below? 66 + n = 226 Show your work Answer_________________ 13. http://www.greenazibo.com/ How To Solve There are 2 basic rules to a problem like this.
