Models Using the distributive property: (2 ● x) - (2 ● 3) = 2x - 6 This shows two groups of (x-3) This shows 2 x’s - 6
Models 6.9A The 6 th grade students sold potted flowers and potted vegetables to raise money for a class trip. They raised $289 for the trip. Sales of flowers raised $153. Let v be the number of dollars raised selling vegetables. Which bar diagram and equation model the problem? vegetables + flowers= $289 v = $289
6.9A 6.10B Angelo’s pet rabbit weighs 1 pound less than the weight of Carmen’s pet rabbit. Angelo’s rabbit weighs 9 pounds. Which equation can be used to find w, the weight of Carmen’s pet rabbit? 9 = w = w – 1 9 – w = 1 w + 9 = 1 Checking to see if it makes sense: if Angelo’s rabbit weighs 9 pounds and is one pound less than Carmen’s, then you would have to add one pound to his 9 pound rabbit to equal Carmen’s. w – 1 one pound less than
