a) 38 – x = 30
b) 33 + x = 38
c) 38 = x + 30
d) x – 38 = 33

The correct answer is b

Explain how you know: 33 + 5 = 38
38 = 38
It was the only equation that was “true”
You decide what the following equation represents.
$50.00 – x = $45.00

Write a word problem to fit the equation.

Then solve your problem.

You decide what the following equation represents.
$50.00 – x = $45.00

Write a word problem to fit the equation.

(example: ) My grandparents gave me fifty
dollars for my birthday. I spent some of my
money on a toy, and now I have $45 left. How
much was the toy that I bought?
Then solve your problem.
$50 – $5 = $45
x = $5
