Andre is solving the equation \(4(x+\frac32)=7\). He says, “I can subtract \(\frac32\) from each side to get \(4x=\frac{11}{2}\) and then divide by 4 to get \(x=\frac{11}{8}\).” Kiran says, “I think you made a mistake.”

1. How can Kiran know for sure that Andre’s solution is incorrect?
2. Describe Andre’s error, and explain how to correct his work.

There are 88 seats in a theater. The seating in the theater is split into 4 identical sections. Each section has 14 red seats and some blue seats.

1. Draw a tape diagram to represent the situation.
2. What unknown amounts can be found by using the diagram or reasoning about the situation?

Quadrilateral A has side lengths 6, 9, 9, and 12. Quadrilateral B is a scaled copy of Quadrilateral A, with its shortest side of length 2. What is the perimeter of Quadrilateral B?
