Problem Solving

Draw a Picture and Write an Equation

Three friends have music collections. How many more CDs does Susan have than Larry?

Another Example

Rori had some balloons and then gave 35 of them away. She now has 21 left. How many balloons did Rori have to begin with?

One Way
Think The total is unknown.
35 were given away and 21 are left.
Write an Equation
x – 35 = 21
21 + 35 = 56, so 56 is the total.
x = 56

Another Way
Think 35 were given away. Rori has 21 left.
The total is unknown.
Write an Equation
35 + 21 = x
35 + 21 = 56, so 56 is the total.
x = 56
Rori had 56 balloons to begin with.

Explain It

Question 1.
Why do both ways use addition to solve for x?
Answer:

Question 2.
How can you check if 56 is a reasonable answer?
Answer:

Read and Understand

What do I know?
Susan has 42 CDs and Larry has 26 CDs.
What am I asked to find?
The difference between the number of CDs from these two collections

Plan and Solve

Draw a Picture

Write an Equation
Let n = the number of
additional CDs Susan has.
42 – 26 = n

Susan has 16 more CDs in her collection than Larry
