EX 1
• Luis earned 14 Accelerated Reading points the first week of November. At the end of the following week he had a total of 31 points. How many points did he earn the second week?
Total = 31 1st week =14 2nd week = ?Write an equation: 14 + s = 31
17 points earned the second week

Write an equation to solve this problem.
• Jaylynn had $84.75 in her savings account. She made a deposit. Her new balance was $107.03. How much was her deposit?
$84.75 + d = $107.03OR
$107.03 – $84.75 = d
