Scenario: Ryan and Mick are skateboarding to the mall. Ryan left first and skated at 50 meters per minute. Mick left 5 minutes later and skated at 75 meters per minute.
Equation #1: D1 = 50(x+5)
Equation #2: D2 = 75x
Equation #3: 50(x+5) = 75x
Equation #4 : 50(x+5) – 75x = 0

Class questions:
According to how I designed the equations:
1. What does x stand for?
2. What does x + 5 stand for?
3. What does 50( x + 5) stand for?
4. What does 75x stand for?
5. What does equation #3 represent?
6. What does equation #4 represent?
Pick the ONE statement you agree with below and argue why you feel it is the correct statement:
Statement A: Equation 3 and Equation 4 represent the same thing because:
Statement B: Equation 3 and Equation 4 represent different things because:
Equation #1 D1 = 75(x – 5)
Equation #2: D2 = 50x
Equation #3: 75(x – 5) = 50x
Equation #4: 75(x – 5) – 50x = 0
