### Example Question #1 : How To Find The Solution To An Equation

Explanation:

To solve:

First, solve both equations on each end, keeping the variable.

Then, subtract 15 from each side of the equation.

Finally, divide each side by 3 so that only the variable remains.

### Example Question #1 : How To Find The Solution To An Equation

Ann, Bailey, Cara, Jack, and Jill are running a marathon.  Cara finishes 4 minutes before Ann.  Jill finishes after Bailey, who finishes after Ann.  Jack finishes right before Bailey.  Who else does Jack finish the race before?

Cara

Jill

There is not enough information to solve this problem.

Ann

Bailey

Jill

Explanation:

Cara finishes first.  Ann and Bailey finish before Jill.  If Jack finishes right before Bailey, then Jill finishes last.
