To solve the word problem, we need to follow these steps:
1. **Identify the variable**: We need to define what the variable represents. In this case, it makes sense to let the variable, m, represent the amount of money Brooklyn has now. So, C is correct.
2. **Set up the equation**: According to the problem, Brooklyn needs to earn $14 more to have $32, which means if Brooklyn currently has m dollars, we can express this as m + 14 = 32. However, the expression provided in option B (14 + m = 32) is equivalent and also correct.
3. **Solve the equation**: To solve for m, we need to isolate it. Following the equation we established, we can do this by subtracting 14 from both sides. Therefore, E is correct.
So the selected steps that apply are:
C. The variable, m, is equal to the amount of money Brooklyn has now.
B. The correct equation is 14 + m = 32.
E. To solve the equation, subtract 14 from both sides.
