Question
James has 1313 more marbles than he did last year. If James now has 1717 marbles write an equation for 𝑗j, the amount of marbles James had last year.
Solution
The problem states that James has 1313 more marbles than he did last year and that he currently has 1717 marbles. We can represent the number of marbles James had last year as j.
According to the problem, the number of marbles James has now (1717) is equal to the number of marbles he had last year (j) plus the additional 1313 marbles he has this year.
So, we can write the equation as:
j + 1313 = 1717
