Which equation does this diagram represent and what is the length of the diagram?

1.2: Match Equations and Tape Diagrams
1

Here are two tape diagrams. Match each equation to one of the tape diagrams.

4+x=12
12\div4=x
4 \sdot x=12
12 = 4 + x
12 - x = 4
12 = 4 \sdot x
12 - 4 = x
x = 12 - 4
x + x + x + x = 12
1.3: Draw Diagrams for Equations
For each equation, draw a diagram and find the value of the unknown that makes the equation true.

You are walking down a road, seeking treasure. The road branches off into three paths. A guard stands in each path. You know that only one of the guards is telling the truth, and the other two are lying. Here is what they say:
  • Guard 1: The treasure lies down this path.
  • Guard 2: No treasure lies down this path; seek elsewhere.
  • Guard 3: The first guard is lying.
Which path leads to the treasure?
