3+1/x *x = 7/x*x
3x+1 = 7
3x+1-1=7-1
3x=6
3x/3 =6/3
x =2
This is a division problem. You can use the standard algorithm of 128/ 5. Or you can create equal groups (draw five circles) and count out eggs until you distribute them all. I would start with 20 in each circle. That would be 20+ 20+ 20+ 20+ 20= 100 Then think 128-100= 28 Next count by 5's. 5+ 5+ 5+ 5+ 5= 25 Then think what is 28-25= 3 so 128/ 5= 25 with a reminder of 3 eggs left over.
The temperature at 6am would've been -2 because 3 - 5 = -2
X-12=20
x=20+12
x=32
answer is 32
