In summary, bar models are visual representations of mathematical equations or word problems using bars of different lengths. They help in problem solving by providing a visual aid and identifying key information and relationships. The benefits of using bar models include developing problem-solving skills, improving mathematical reasoning, and making complex problems more manageable. They are commonly used in mathematics and can also be applied in other subjects. There are variations of bar models, including part-whole, comparison, and ratio, which are used to represent different types of problems and relationships.

Angel had 5 times as many stickers as Kareem

$a = 5k$

Angel gave 36 stickers to Kareem, both of them had an equal number of stickers.

$a-36 = k+36$

solve the system of equations
 

1. How do we calculate the total number of stickers Angel and Kareem have?

The total number of stickers Angel and Kareem have can be calculated by adding the number of stickers Angel has to the number of stickers Kareem has. This will give us the total number of stickers they have altogether.

2. What information do we need to know in order to determine the total number of stickers?

We need to know the number of stickers Angel has and the number of stickers Kareem has in order to determine the total number of stickers they have altogether.

3. Can we use any mathematical operation to find the total number of stickers?

Yes, we can use addition to find the total number of stickers. This is because we are adding the number of stickers Angel has to the number of stickers Kareem has.

4. Is the total number of stickers the same as the sum of the number of stickers Angel and Kareem have?

Yes, the total number of stickers is the same as the sum of the number of stickers Angel and Kareem have. This is because we are adding the two numbers together to find the total.

5. Can we find the total number of stickers if we only know the difference between the number of stickers Angel and Kareem have?

No, we cannot find the total number of stickers if we only know the difference between the number of stickers Angel and Kareem have. We need to know the individual numbers in order to determine the total.
