Delaney has $28.00 and buys a shirt for 14.00. Delaney used the equation 14x = 28 to model her scenario, where x represents the amount of money she has left.

After solving her equation, Delaney says the solution x = 2, means that she has $2.00 left. Is she CORRECT? Why or why not?

She is incorrect because 14 multiplied by 2 equals 28, which means she wouldn’t have any money left over.
