Question. Find out the relationship between the shapes.
Given: Three clues are given.
We have to find out the relationship between the shapes.
First, we will look for that shape which is common on both the left side and right side and then we will eliminate it and find out the relationship between the remaining shapes.
Let, C represents a circle, T represent a triangle and S represents a square.
Therefore, we get the following clues as
4C + 1T = 2S + 1T
3T + 2C = 2C + 1S
1S + 2C = 6T
From the first clue we have
4C + 1T = 2S + 1T
4C + T−T = 2S + T − T (Subtracting T from both sides)
4C = 2S
\(\frac{4}{2}\)C=\(\frac{2}{2}\)S (Dividing 2 from both sides)
S = 2C ———-(1)
From the second clue we have
3T+2C=2C+1S
3T + 2C − 2C = 2C + S − 2C (Subtracting 2C from both sides)
S = 3T ———–(2)
From equation (1) and (2)
We have, S = 2C and S = 3T
Therefore, 2C = 3T———(3)
From equations (1), (2), and (3)
We get the relationship between the shapes
S=2C
S=3T
2C=3T
The relationship between the shapes are as follows: S = 2C, S = 3T, 2C = 3T
Question. Use properties of equality to solve the given equations
4C + 1T = 2S + 1T
3T + 2C = 2C + 1S
1S + 2C = 6T
We have to use properties of equality to reason about the equations.
Let, C represents a circle, T represent a triangle and S represents a square.
Therefore, we get the following clues as
4C + 1T = 2S + 1T
3T + 2C = 2C + 1S
1S + 2C = 6T
From the first clue we have
4C + 1T = 2S + 1T
4C + T − T = 2S + T−T (Subtracting T from both sides)
4C = 2S
\(\frac{4}{2}\)C = \(\frac{2}{2}\) S (Dividing 2 from both sides)
S = 2C ———-(1)
From the second clue we have
3T + 2C = 2C + 1S
3T + 2C − 2C = 2C + S − 2C (Subtracting 2C from both sides)
S = 3T ———–(2)
From equation (1) and (2)
We have, S = 2C and S = 3T
Therefore, 2C = 3T——–(3)
From equations (1), (2), and (3)
We get the relationship between the shapes:
S = 2C
S = 3T
2C = 3T
We used the subtraction and division properties of equality to solve the given equations.
Question. A shape equation C represents a circle, T represent a triangle and S represents a square.
Given: A shape equation is given.
Relationship between shapes:
S = 2C
S = 3T
2C = 3T
We have to complete the equation only using triangles.
Let, C represents a circle, T represent a triangle and S represents a square.
Therefore, we get
4C + S = ?
From solving and discussing exercise 1 we have the following relationship between the shapes.
S = 2C
S = 3T
2C = 3T
Therefore, 4C = 6T
S = 3T
Hence, we get
4C + S = 6T + 3T = 9T
Therefore, the complete equation is 4C + S = 9T
The complete equation is 4C + S = 9T
Question. Write a two-step equation is similar to solving a one-step equation.
We have to explain how solving a two-step equation is similar to solving a one-step equation.

Question. Andrew rents bowling shoes for $4 and he bowls 2 games. Find out the cost of each game.
Given:
Andrew rents bowling shoes for $4 and he bowls 2 games.
The total money he spent is $22
Given bar diagrams are:
We have to complete the bar diagrams and find out the cost of each game.
The total money Andrew spent is $22
He rents the bowling shoes for $4 and played 2 games.
Therefore, we get the following bar diagrams:
The total cost is $22
Therefore, 4 + 2b = 22
4 + 2b − 4 = 22− 4 (Subtracting 4 from both sides)
2b = 18
\(\frac{2}{2}\) = \(\frac{18}{2}\) (Dividing 2 from both sides)
b = 9
Therefore, the cost of each game is $9.
The complete bar diagrams are:
The cost of each game is $9.
Given:
Kristy ran 24 laps.
The total distance traveled by Kristy is 29.6 kilometers
She walked 0.2 km to the presentation table.
We have to determine the distance of each lap.
First, we will determine the total distance she traveled in 24 laps and then we will divide it by 24 to get the distance of each lap.
The total distance traveled by Kristy is 29.6 kilometers
She walked 0.2 km to the presentation table.
Therefore, total distance she covered in 24 laps = 29.6 − 0.2 = 29.4 km (Subtraction)
Distance covered in 1 lap \(=\frac{29.4}{24}\) (Division)
=1.225
Hence, the distance of each lap is 1.225 km
The two steps we used for solving the situation are subtraction and division.
The distance of each lap is 1.225 km. The two steps we used for solving the situation are subtraction and division.
Question. Solve the equation by using subtraction and division.
We have to explain what were the two steps we used to solve the equation.
The total cost is $22
Therefore, 4 + 2b = 22
4 + 2b−4 = 22 − 4 (Subtracting 4 from both sides)
2b = 18
\(\frac{2}{2}b\)=\(\frac{18}{2}\) (Dividing 2 from both sides)
b = 9
Therefore, the cost of each game is $9.
We can see that the two steps we used to solve the equation are subtraction and division.

Question. Solve the equation 6p – 12 = 72 and said p = 14.
Given:
Clara solved a problem 6p − 12 = 72 and said p = 14.
We have to check whether Clara is correct or not.
First, we will substitute the value of p and calculate the left-hand side of the equation.
Given equation: 6p − 12 = 72 and p = 14
The left-hand side of the equation is 6p − 12
Substituting the value of p = 14 in 6p − 12 we get
6 (14) − 12 (Multiply)
= 84 − 12 (Subtract)
= 72
= RHS
Since the left-hand side of the equation is equal to the right-hand side of the equation.
Therefore, the value of p is correct.
And hence, Clara is correct.
As the left-hand side of the equation is equal to the right-hand side of the equation. therefore, the value of p is correct. And hence, Clara is correct.
