17. A 5.2.2.1 Algebra (generate equivalent numerical expressions situations) When the
number sentence is solved, the variable, p, indicates the number of pages Eduardo read
(NOTE: the number of pages Eduardo read can be represented as p + 36 and Martha’s
pages would then be represented as simply p. On the other hand, since we want the
number of pages Eduardo read to be the single variable, p, then Martha read 36 fewer
pages, hence p – 36.)
