rewrite as an equation, calling the "number" x for now:

2x+5=7

and solve for x

2x = 2

x = 1

"5 more than twice 1 is 7" - sounds good?

The answer is 1, because 1×2 +5 = 7

Jared has a wooden board that is 11 ft long. He wants to cut it into 2 pieces so that the longer piece is 4 ft less than 4 times

Kaylis [27]

X+y=11

x is longer than y
x>y
x is 4 less than 4 times y
x=-4+4y

sub back
x+y=11
-4+4y+y=11
-4+5y=11
add 4 to both sides
5y=15
divide both sides by 5
y=3

sub back
x=-4+4y
x=-4+4(3)
x=-4+12
x=8

the pieces are 8ft and 3ft
