Notice the following equation: $ (c + 3) - 2 = p. Now, consider this equation: 3(a + 2) - 1 = 8. The first equation involves two variables, p and c. The second equation involves only one variable. What
kinds of differences does this create?

x is variable or an unknown value to find

example:

2x = 5 which means x = 3

here's a poem i finished a while ago. i hope you like it and that it inspires you.

fabric (square meters)                   cloaks

7                                                           21

4/3                                                         4

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that harry needs 2 square meters of fabric for every 6 wizard cloaks he makes.

1. first of all we will find how many cloaks can be made from 1 square meter of fabric by dividing 6 by 2.

we can see that 3 cloaks can be made from 1 square meter of fabric. now we will multiply 3 by 7 to find number of cloaks made from 7 square meters of fabric.

therefore, harry will make 21 cloaks from 7 square meters of fabric.

2. let us find how many square meters of fabric will be needed to make 4 cloaks.

first of all we will find fabric needed for 1 cloak by dividing 2 by 6.

we can see that fabric needed for 1 cloak is   square meter. now we will multiply   by 4 to find fabric needed for 4 cloaks.
