Here are the matched scenarios with their corresponding equations:

1. **Darius is 38 years old. In 4 years he will be 3 times as old as Gia. How old is Gia?**
- **Equation:** 3(x + 4) = 42 (Let x be Gia's current age)

2. **I think of a number, multiply it by 3 and then add four to get 42. What number am I thinking of?**
- **Equation:** 3x + 4 = 42

3. **Lucia goes to the art store and spends $38. She buys a canvas for $20 and some new paints. If each paint costs $3, how many did she buy?**
- **Equation:** 3x + 20 = 38 (Let x be the number of paints)

4. **Chelsea owes her mom $38. She starts paying her mom back $4 per week. After some weeks, she realizes she only owes her mom $2 more. How many weeks has she been paying her mom back?**
- **Equation:** 4x + 2 = 38 (Let x be the number of weeks)

5. **A rectangle has a length of 4 units and a width of x + 3 units. If the area is 42, what is the value of x?**
- **Equation:** 4(x + 3) = 42

So, here are the matches neatly summarized:

- 1 → 3(x + 4) = 42
- 2 → 3x + 4 = 42
- 3 → 3x + 20 = 38
- 4 → 4x + 2 = 38
- 5 → 4(x + 3) = 42

Here are the solutions to each equation and their corresponding matches:

1. **Equation:** \(2x - 6 = 24\)
**Solution:**
\(2x = 24 + 6\)
\(2x = 30\)
\(x = 15\)

2. **Equation:** \(2x + 6 = 24\)
**Solution:**
\(2x = 24 - 6\)
\(2x = 18\)
\(x = 9\)

3. **Equation:** \(2(x + 6) = 24\)
**Solution:**
\(x + 6 = 24 / 2\)
\(x + 6 = 12\)
\(x = 12 - 6\)
\(x = 6\)

4. **Equation:** \(2(x - 6) = 24\)
**Solution:**
\(x - 6 = 24 / 2\)
\(x - 6 = 12\)
\(x = 12 + 6\)
\(x = 18\)

Now, matching the solutions:
- **For** \(2x - 6 = 24\) → **Solution:** 15
- **For** \(2x + 6 = 24\) → **Solution:** 9
- **For** \(2(x + 6) = 24\) → **Solution:** 6
- **For** \(2(x - 6) = 24\) → **Solution:** 18

So the matches are as follows:
- \(2x - 6 = 24\) → 15
- \(2x + 6 = 24\) → 9
- \(2(x + 6) = 24\) → 6
- \(2(x - 6) = 24\) → 18

These are the solutions associated with the respective equations.

Here are the matches between the phrases and the corresponding mathematical expressions:

1. **Twice a number, increased by five**
**Expression:** \(2x + 5\)

2. **Twice the difference of a number and five**
**Expression:** \(2(x - 5)\)

3. **Twice the sum of a number and five**
**Expression:** \(2(x + 5)\)

4. **Five decreased by twice a number**
**Expression:** \(5 - 2x\)

5. **Five less than twice a number**
**Expression:** \(2x - 5\)

6. **Twice a number less five**
**Expression:** \(2x - 5\)

So, summarizing the matches:

- **Twice a number, increased by five** → \(2x + 5\)
- **Twice the difference of a number and five** → \(2(x - 5)\)
- **Twice the sum of a number and five** → \(2(x + 5)\)
- **Five decreased by twice a number** → \(5 - 2x\)
- **Five less than twice a number** → \(2x - 5\)
- **Twice a number less five** → \(2x - 5\)

Feel free to adjust the organization according to your needs!

Solve the following equation for x.

4x - 6 = 8
x =

User Icon for Bot GPT 4-o mini Bot GPT 4-o mini answered

To solve the equation \(4x - 6 = 8\), follow these steps:

1. **Add 6 to both sides:**
\[
4x - 6 + 6 = 8 + 6
\]
\[
4x = 14
\]

2. **Divide both sides by 4:**
\[
x = \frac{14}{4}
\]
\[
x = \frac{7}{2}
\]
\[
x = 3.5
\]

So, the solution is:

\[
x = 3.5
\]

Matthew and Anthony each have a video game collection.

• The number of video games in Matthew’s collection can be represented by x.
• The number of video games in Anthony’s collection is 5 times the number in Matthew’s collection.
• The total number of video games in both collections is 72.

What is x, the number of video games in Matthew’s collection?

User Icon for Bot GPT 4-o mini Bot GPT 4-o mini answered

To solve for \(x\), the number of video games in Matthew's collection, we can set up the equation based on the information given:

1. Let \(x\) be the number of video games in Matthew’s collection.
2. The number of video games in Anthony’s collection is \(5x\) (since it is 5 times the number in Matthew's collection).
3. The total number of video games in both collections is 72.

We can set up the equation as follows:

\[
x + 5x = 72
\]

Now, combine the terms on the left:

\[
6x = 72
\]

Next, divide both sides by 6:

\[
x = \frac{72}{6}
\]

\[
x = 12
\]

So, the number of video games in Matthew's collection is:

\[
\boxed{12}
\]

Amari went to the mall and spent 47

. He bought one shirt for 26
and he bought 3 pairs of socks. Each pair of socks cost the same amount of money.

PART A

Write an equation that can be used to find the cost of each pair of socks. Use
x to represent the cost of each pair of socks.

Type your equation:

To find the cost of each pair of socks, we can set up the equation based on the information provided.

1. Amari spent a total of $47.
2. He bought one shirt for $26.
3. He bought 3 pairs of socks, each costing \(x\) dollars.

The total amount spent on the shirt and the socks can be expressed as:

\[
26 + 3x = 47
\]

So, the equation that can be used to find the cost of each pair of socks is:

\[
3x + 26 = 47
\]

You can type this equation:

**3x + 26 = 47**
