Hello my wonderful Grade 5 superstar! 👋

I'm Kashef and today we're learning to Identify Unknown Values! The unknown value is the mystery number (usually shown as x, n, or y) that we need to find. We'll use clues from equations and word stories to solve it. Ready to be a Mystery Number Detective? Let’s go! 🚀

🧠 What is an Unknown Value?

It’s the number we don’t know yet — represented by a letter (variable).

x = ?

We use math clues to find what x really is!

✍️ Simple Examples

Example 1: x + 6 = 14

x = 8

Example 2: 5n = 35

n = 7

Example 3: y - 9 = 11

y = 20

🎯 Identify the Unknown Values!

1. x + 8 = 17

x = 9

2. 4n = 24

n = 6

3. 30 - y = 13

y = 17
