Question

Write the mathematical sentence or a grammatical sentence as a mathematical one. Mount Mo is 5323 feet tall. Dawn climbed it in 5 days. She climbed 821 feet on the last day. How many feet did she climb in the first four days?

Answer 1

`821+x`

Equate this sum to 5323:

`821+x=5323`

Next solve for x in the equation:
