Describe a situation that matches the equation. 34 = g + 25


A: The temperature on Monday was 25 degrees below zero and on Tuesday the temperature got up to 34 degrees. What was the increase in temperature between Monday and Tuesday?


B: The eighth-grade class has 34 students. The year before, when the students were in seventh grade, there were 25 students. How many students were added between seventh and eighth grade?

D: Jack has 25 marbles. Mary gives him 34 marbles. How many marbles does Jack have?

Answer 1

The answer is B!

Explanation:

The equation and the equation from scenario B are both, when simplified, g = 9.

Answer 2

Option B matches the equation

Explanation:

Equation: 34 = g + 25

A:Since we are given that The temperature on Monday was 25 degrees below zero So, in given equation there should be -25 in place of 25

So, It does not matches the equation

B: The year before, when the students were in seventh grade, there were 25 students.

Let g be the no. of students added between seventh and eighth grade

So, Total students = 25+g

We are given that The eighth-grade class has 34 students.

So, equation becomes : 34=g+25

It matches the equation.

C :A person bikes 34 miles on Monday

He bikes 25 miles on Tuesday.

So, Total miles =25+34

So, It does not matches the equation

D: Jack has 25 marbles.

Mary gives him 34 marbles.

Total marbles = 25+34

So, It does not matches the equation

Hence Option B matches the equation
