1. m n SOLVING EQUATIONS How many sweets were in each type of bag?
We STILL don’t know! m n R

2. SOLVING EQUATIONS
Solving equations allows us to calculate the number of sweets in each bag!

3. n = 3
n = 5 n

4. n = 6
n = 11 n

5. n = 14
n = 17 n

6. n = 52
n = 56 n

7. Got the idea???
What happens if we just have a number of bags and no spare sweets?

8. n = 5
2n = 10 n n

9. n = 2
3n = 6 n n n

10. n = 2
4n = 8 n n n n

11. n = 7
3n = 21 n n n

12. n = 4
6n = 24 n n n n n n

13. n = 7
8n = 56 n n n n n n n n
