n + 9 = 15 is one example.

The record for a city’s greatest 1-day rainfall is 8.2 inches. Write an inequality to represent a rainfall that would beat this record.

r > 8.2 is one example.

Jose wrote that 9 + 9 = 18. Then he wrote that 9 + 9 + n = 18 − n. Are his equations balanced?

He added the same variable that he subtracted to the other side. It is not balanced.

Kelly is on the rowing team. This week, Kelly’s goal is to row 16 miles. So far, she has rowed 9 3/8 miles. Use the equation 9 3/8 + r = 16 to find how many more miles Kelly needs to row.
