Insects known as walking sticks move very slowly. they can move 2 inches every 5 seconds. at this rate, how far could a walking stick go in 30 seconds?
.

Part 1: 9(4j+5+2j)

Part 2: 

- 9(6j+5)

Work: Combine like terms with 4j and 2j from Question 1

- 54j+45

Work: Multiply 9*6j then multiply 9*5, or otherwise known as the distributive property.

- 36j+45+18j

Work: Same as the one before, only you need to do the original equation 9(4j+5+2j)

All these problems would lead up to the same answers.

I choose the number 1, since it would be the easiest.

-9(4j+5+2j) -> 9(4(1)+5+2(1)) -> 99

-36j+45+18j -> 36(1)+45+18(1) -> 99

-54j+45 -> 54(1)+45 -> 99

Part 3:

So let's say Sarah found 36 shark teeth, you would plug it into the equation that she provided, or known as Substitute.

Her equation: 5(2j + 3 + j)

5(2j + 3 + j) -> 5(2(36)+3+36) -> 5(111) -> 555

Sarah and John found 36 shark teeth, which in result added up to the both getting $555.

Recommendation:

Do a power point and make it bright + colorful. Make sure you include pictures of shark teeth so that it brings the entire presentation together for the highest points possible. Don't forget to include all this information.
