James bought candy using a 10 dollar bill and received 
dollars in change. Which of the following describes how much James paid for the candy?
James bought candy using a 10 dollar bill and received
The amount of change given after a purchase is the amount the customer pays minus the cost of the item. So the cost of the item is the amount the customer pays minus the amount of change received.
The amount of change given after a purchase is the amount the customer pays minus the cost of the item. So the cost of the item is the amount the customer pays minus the amount of change received.

Read the following scenario:
A barista has to make sixty pounds of a special blend of coffee at Moonbucks, using Hazelnut Happiness beans and Pecan Delight beans. If there are fourteen fewer pounds of Hazelnut Happiness beans in the mixture than Pecan Delight beans, then how many pounds of each will she use?
If 
represents the number of pounds of Pecan Delight coffee beans in the mixture, then which of the following equations could be set up in order to find the number of pounds of each variety of bean?

A barista has to make sixty pounds of a special blend of coffee at Moonbucks, using Hazelnut Happiness beans and Pecan Delight beans. If there are fourteen fewer pounds of Hazelnut Happiness beans in the mixture than Pecan Delight beans, then how many pounds of each will she use?
If
Since there are fourteen fewer pounds of Hazelnut Happiness beans in the mixture than Pecan Delight beans , then the number of pounds of Hazelnut Happiness beans is fourteen subtracted from
:
.
Add the number of pounds of Pecan Delight beans, 
, to the number of pounds of Hazelnut Happiness beans, 
, to get the number of pounds of the mixture, which is 
.
This translates to the following equation:
Since there are fourteen fewer pounds of Hazelnut Happiness beans in the mixture than Pecan Delight beans , then the number of pounds of Hazelnut Happiness beans is fourteen subtracted from
Add the number of pounds of Pecan Delight beans,
This translates to the following equation:

Read the following scenario:
A barista has to make forty pounds of a special blend of coffee at Moonbucks, using Vanilla Dream beans and Strawberry Heaven beans. If there are twelve more pounds of Vanilla Dream beans in the mixture than Strawberry Heaven beans, then how many pounds of each will she use?
If 
represents the number of pounds of Strawberry Heaven coffee beans in the mixture, then which of the following equations could be set up in order to find the number of pounds of each variety of bean?
Read the following scenario:
A barista has to make forty pounds of a special blend of coffee at Moonbucks, using Vanilla Dream beans and Strawberry Heaven beans. If there are twelve more pounds of Vanilla Dream beans in the mixture than Strawberry Heaven beans, then how many pounds of each will she use?
If
Since there are twelve more pounds of Vanilla Dream beans in the mixture than Strawberry Heaven beans, then the number of pounds of Vanilla Dream beans is twelve added to 
:
.
Add the number of pounds of Strawberry Heaven beans, 
, to the number of pounds of Vanilla Dream beans, 
, to get the number of pounds of the mixture, which is 
.
This translates to the following equation:
Since there are twelve more pounds of Vanilla Dream beans in the mixture than Strawberry Heaven beans, then the number of pounds of Vanilla Dream beans is twelve added to
Add the number of pounds of Strawberry Heaven beans,

Call the three angles of a triangle 
.
The measure of 
is twenty degrees greater than that of 
; the measure of 
is thirty degrees less than twice that of 
. If 
is the measure of 
, then which of the following equations would we need to solve in order to calculate the measures of the angles?
Call the three angles of a triangle
The measure of
The measure of 
is twenty degrees greater than the measure 
of 
, so its measure is 20 added to that of 
- that is, 
.
The measure of 
is thirty degrees less than twice that of 
. Twice the measure of 
is 
, and thirty degrees less than this is 30 subtracted from 
- that is, 
.
The sum of the measures of the three angles of a triangle is 180, so, to solve for 
- thereby allowing us to calulate all three angle measures - we add these three expressions and set the sum equal to 180. This yields the equation:
