Q. a. Write an equation to represent the nangei. b. Explain how to reason with the hanger to find the value of xx. Q. Explain how to reason with the equation to find the value of xx. Andre says that xx is 77 because he can move the two 11s with the xx to the other side. Do you agree with Andre? Explain your reasoning.
  1. Representing the Hanger: a. To represent the hanger, let's say we have an equation like x+1+1=x+9x + 1 + 1 = x + 9. This is because Andre is talking about moving two 11's to the other side where there's an xx.
  2. Balancing the Hanger: b. If we look at the hanger, we can think of it like a balance. To find xx, we need to make sure that what's on one side of the hanger is equal to the other side. So, we can subtract 1+11 + 1 from both sides to isolate xx.
  3. Subtracting to Isolate x: Q. Using the equation, we subtract 22 (which is 1+11 + 1) from both sides to keep the equation balanced. So, x+92=x+7x + 9 - 2 = x + 7. But wait, we still have xx on both sides, so let's subtract xx from both sides too.
  4. Simplifying the Equation: Now we have 92=79 - 2 = 7, and on the other side, we have xxx - x, which is 00. So, the equation simplifies to 7=07 = 0. This doesn't make sense, so Andre's reasoning must be wrong.
