Anna gave away 5 hats.
Marco spent twice as much as Owen.

Answer 1

The situations that can be modeled with an equation are:

1. The sale price of a television is $125 off of the original price.

Let the original price of TV be=x

Sale price =
`x-125`

Let sale price be S so equation is : S=
`x-125`

3. Marco spent twice as much as Owen.

Let Owen spent = x

Then Macro spent = 2x

Let Macro spends $y , So, equation becomes

y = 2x

5. Ben paid a total of $75 for a shirt and a pair of shoes.

Let 'x' represent the cost of a shirt and 'y' represents the cost of a pair of shoes then equation becomes:

`x+y=75`
