I think of a number, multiply it by 3 and then add four to get 42. What number am I thinking of? Lucia goes to the art store and spends $38. She buys a canvas for $20 and some new paints. If each paint cost $3, how many did she buy? 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? 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?

4(x+3)=42, 3x+4=42, 4x+2=38, 3x+20=38

Here are the scenarios matched 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: \(3x + 4 = 42\)

  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 cost $3, how many did she buy?

    • Equation: \(3x + 20 = 38\)

  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: \(4x + 2 = 38\)

  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: \(4(x + 3) = 42\)

Here’s the final matching:

  1. Darius scenario - \(3x + 4 = 42\)
  2. Thinking of a number - \(3x + 4 = 42\)
  3. Lucia's paint purchases - \(3x + 20 = 38\)
  4. Chelsea paying back - \(4x + 2 = 38\)
  5. Rectangle area - \(4(x + 3) = 42\)
