Step-by-step explanation:
When I was first taught algebra, the first thing you write is “X= “ and then you show how you solve for X. X can be miles, eggs, hours per page, grandparents per block - anything! Depends on teh problem.
If you said “X=amount” I’d subtract one point from your grade. That’s not an adequate definition. “X=amount of sand” and I wouldn’t have deducted for that, but “X= pounds per square yard of sand” is a much better answer. Tells you what you are doing. If you start this problem and end up with X=13 seconds, you know you’ve done something wrong. X is as defined above, and that’s not ‘time’.
