Q. Pick the story that can be modeled by the equation 2+x=82 + x = 8.\newlineChoices:\newline(A)During yesterday's lacrosse game, Maya's team scored a total of 88 goals. They scored 22 goals in the first half and xx goals in the second half.\newline(B)During yesterday's lacrosse game, Maya's team scored a total of xx goals. They scored 22 goals in the first half and 88 goals in the second half.
  1. Identify Equation: Identify the equation and what it represents: The equation given is 2+x=82 + x = 8. This equation suggests that two quantities add up to 88.
  2. Analyzing Choice (A): Analyze choice (A): In this scenario, Maya's team scored a total of 88 goals, with 22 goals in the first half and xx goals in the second half. This fits the equation 2+x=82 + x = 8, where xx represents the number of goals scored in the second half.
  3. Analyzing Choice (B): Analyze choice (B): Here, the total number of goals scored by Maya's team is xx, and they scored 22 goals in the first half and 88 in the second half. This scenario does not fit the equation 2+x=82 + x = 8 because it would imply x=10x = 10, not 88.
