Example Question #174 : Numbers And Operations
Which story best fits the equation ?
I have 8 candy bars, and my friend has 5. How many do we have together?
I have 8 boxes of candy bars, and each box has 5 candy bars. How many bars do I have in total?
I have 40 candy bars. If I eat 8, how many are left?
I want to share 40 candy bars with 10 friends. How many do they each get?
I have 8 boxes of candy bars, and each box has 5 candy bars. How many bars do I have in total?
The equation has multiplication, so the story must have multiplication as well. Ignore the stories which just add or subtract candy bars.
The right answer involves boxes of candy bars:

There are two ways to solve this question: one is to try each answer in the place of , and another is to solve it with algebra.
To solve algebraically, first, divide both sides by 2:
Subtract 3 from both sides:

__ ?
There is a quick shortcut that you may notice in this problem (and problems like it) that will keep you from having to doing a lot of large computations. As you look at the left side of the equation, notice that you can factor out a from the , which gives you a on the left:
__ ?
__?
Now we can divide each side by , which leaves us with:
, which equals
, which equals
