Toby and Mara have 7 seashells. Mara has 3 more than Toby. How many seashells does Toby have?

Let's see.  Toby has x number of seashells.  Mara has (x+3) number of seashells.  If you add the two, they equal 7.  \n\nHope that helps.

Actually I had something to help you but x=0 which makes it pretty difficult.\n\nI guess you could try to talk about tomatoes or something.  Say Tom (X) has 1/2 the amount of tomatoes that Jill has, plus four.  Or in other words, if you take Jill's amount of tomatoes, multiply it by two, and take Tom's amount and multiply it by three, there total amount of tomatoes will equal 12.  How many tomatoes does Jill have?  How many does Tom have?

a. 38 + x = 75   Diana has 38 marbles. Her marbles (38) + her brother's (x) = the amount of marbles they have together (75).\n\nb. 5 + x = 23    Ramon's score has to = 23. He needs 5 more to get to 23.\n\nc. x - 8 = 9        Spring spent 8 from the total amound she started with (x). She now has 9 left.

Tom baked 4 batches of fairy cakes. Each batch consisted of x cakes. He put 3 cherries on top of each cake in the first batch, but couldn't resist taking off and eating 5 of them. He did the same again with the second batch, then the third, then the fourth! Meanwhile, Sarah baked 5 batches of fairy cakes, again with x cakes in each batch. She put 2 cherries on each cake and an extra two on the final one. She repeated this procedure with each of the batches. She managed to resist eating any at all! Tom and Sarah discovered that Tom's cakes had exactly the same number of cherries in total as Sarah's. Set up an equation for this.\n\nThen: \n\nNumber of cherries on Tom's cakes = 4(3x-5)\nNumber of cherries on Sarah's cakes=5(2x+4)\n\nBut number of cherries is equal so:\n\n4(3x-5)=5(2x+4)\n\nPhew!! I think that works!! Lol!

Seven is the correct answer. I'm not sure what kind of source you're looking for, but I've found it in multiple sources.

One needs to ask the question........how many times will this number 3 be divided into this number 6? Or how many times can six be divided by 3.  Take a candy bar that has 6 parts and divide it equally between 6 children, each child will receive two pieces. Check would be 2 x 3 = 6 Be sure to work the division problem showing the answer, number multiplied, subtracted.......in otherwords show the entire problems steps
