Q. Katy's class visited the bookfair this afternoon. She bought a set of m books from her favorite mystery series and a set of 4 books from her favorite science fiction series. Katy bought 9 books in all.Which diagram models the story?Which equation models the story?Choices:(A) m+4=9(B) m−4=9
Set up equation: Katy bought m books from the mystery series and 4 books from the science fiction series, totaling 9 books. To find the number of mystery books, we set up the equation m+4=9, where m represents the mystery books.
Solve equation: Solve the equation m+4=9 by subtracting 4 from both sides to isolate m. This gives m=9−4, which simplifies to m=5.
