River C : 200 + x
River D: x
200 + x + x = 5,540
combine like terms
200 + 2x = 5,540
subtract 200 from both sides
2x = 5,340
divide both sides by 2 to isolate the variable
x = 2, 670
River C: 200 + x = 200 + 2,670 = 2,870
River D: x = 2,670
2,870 + 2,670 = 5,540
<h2> S.O.L.V.E</h2>

- Line up the problem
- Validate
- Explain

<h2>
<em>step</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em> </em><em>:</em><em>study</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>problem</em><em> </em></h2>
<em>write</em><em> </em><em>down</em><em> </em><em>your</em><em> </em><em>fact</em><em> </em><em>or</em><em> </em><em>what</em><em> </em><em>you</em><em> </em><em>know</em><em> </em><em>about</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>problem</em><em>. </em><em>also</em><em> </em><em>crossout</em><em> </em><em>unnecessary</em><em> </em><em>parts</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>the problem</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>highlight</em><em> </em><em>important</em><em> </em><em>information</em><em>.</em>
example: X = hours
<h2> </h2><h2>Step 2: organize your facts</h2>
organize your facts means put in order ,write what it means etc.
example: the problem say rebbeca has 3 3 times as much candy than Sara. what does the problem mean ?
<h2>Step 3 : line up your strategy. </h2><h3> what are your plans for solving this problem ? what operation will u do ? how much step is in this problem ? does this make sense ? in line up your strategy u have to think about why I'm doing this? how I will do this etc.</h3>
<h2>Step 4 : validate </h2>
<h3>"SOLVE THE PROBLEM"!</h3>
Mode is just the most reacurring number so just put 11 in the boxes
+4 then +6 then +8 then +10 so the answer is 30
