Here are the matched scenarios with their corresponding equations:
-
Scenario: Darius is 38 years old. In 4 years he will be 3 times as old as Gia. How old is Gia?
Equation: \(38 + 4 = 3(G + 4)\) -
Scenario: I think of a number, multiply it by 3 and then add four to get 42. What number am I thinking of?
Equation: \(3x + 4 = 42\) -
Scenario: 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: \(20 + 3p = 38\) -
Scenario: 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: \(38 - 4w = 2\) -
Scenario: 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: \(4(x + 3) = 42\)
If you have the option "<span aria-label="4 x plus 2 is equal to 38" role="math">\(4x+2=38\)</span>" selected earlier, it isn't suitable for any of these scenarios.
