Answer 5

Translate this sentence into an equation.
53 is the difference of Diane's age and 15
.
Use the variable D
to represent Diane's age.

Answer 6

Yes, the key part of the instruction says "Use $d$ to represent Diane's age". Is that what you did?

Answer 7

Yes

Answer 8

Show me where you have used \(d\) to represent Diane's age.

Answer 9

It was telling me the difference which means subtraction

Answer 10

I don't see where you have used \(d\) to represent Diane's age.

Answer 11

d -15=

Answer 12

Actually, I take that back. The statement you wrote does not reflect the situation given.

Answer 13

Ok so what is the correct one then?

Answer 14

From what i could figure out it would be d-15=53

Answer 15

Correct

Answer 16

Do you need me to show my work?

Answer 17

No, that's all the work that needs to be done.

Answer 18

It did not say "Solve for \(d\)" It only says to translate the given situation into a mathematical statement. Which you have done.

Answer 19

@NonportritV2 That's the statement he had originally which was shown to be incorrect.

Answer 20

Yes I just got confused there for a second so that's why I did it wrong

Answer 21

But @theghost22 if you do solve for \(d\) what would you get?

Answer 22

Ok so I have one more question that I need to be checked but since I know how to do it I am confident in my answer but I want to be sure.

Answer 23

Well when yous solve for D you get 38

Answer 24

Are you sure about that? I get something else when I solve for \(d\)
