Algebra Red blocks weigh 14 grams Green blocks weigh 8 grams Mary has xred blocks. In terms of x how much do Mary’s red blocks weigh? Click on the scales to find out
x x 14 14 Multiply the number of blocks by the weight Mary has xred blocks. Each red block weighs 14 grams We write this as 14x x
! This has nothing to do with weight. Red blocks weigh 14 grams Green blocks weigh 8 grams Mary has xred blocks. She has 2 less green blocks than red blocks. In terms of x how many green blocks does Mary have? Click on the scales to find out
x x 2 So there are the same number of green blocks as red (x) less 2 Mary has xred blocks She has 2 less green blocks. - 2 -
Red blocks weigh 14 grams Green blocks weigh 8 grams Mary has xred blocks. Mary has x- 2 green blocks How much do the green blocks weigh? Click on the scales to find out
x 8 2 Multiply the weight by the number of blocks Green blocks weigh 8 grams Mary has x- 2 green blocks We write this as 8x - 16 - x
What is the total weight of all the blocks? Click on the scales to find out
There are xredblocks and they weigh 14g each 14x There are x- 2greenblocks and they weigh 8g each 8x - 16 22x - 16 Total weight of blocks
