Four times the number of coins in my pocket plus five more is twenty-nine. Write an equation for the number of coins in my pocket.

There are six coins already in pocket, but let’s say we don’t know it.

We would figure it out by reversing the problem. Let’s start with twenty-nine. We would subtract 5, because we are reversing. Now we have 24. Now, let’s divide by four. We would get 6.

A simpler answer would be 29 - 5 [divided by] 4 = [answer]
