Create your own example of a mathematical phrase you might hear in the real world, and provide the translation for it. Be sure to identify what part of the phrase is represented by your variable.

When renting a car from bob's car rentals, you have to pay 6 dollars a day so how many days do you need to rent the car to pay 36 dollars

cost=y=36

days=x

36=6x

divide both sides by 6

6=x

you must rent the car 6 days

or,

if I have 24 apples and I want to give the same number of apples to each of my 3 friends, how many apples does each friend get?

so 24/3=8 each friend gets 8 apples
