Lisa needs 250 yards of yarn to knit a hat. She has 185 yards of yarn and needs to buy the rest. How many yards of yarn does she need to buy?
Use the variable y to represent the number of yards of yarn she needs to buy.
Which equation represents this situation and its solution?
250y = 185; y = 55
y + 185 = 250; y = 65
y + 250 = 185; y = 65
185y = 250; y = 55
