[Question]: The sum of the three sides of a triangle is 50. The right side of the triangle is 2 cm longer than the left side. Find the value of the triangle base if the left side has a value of 12 cm.
[Answer]: If the left side of the triangle is 12, and the right side is 2 cm longer, the right side is 12 + 2 = 14 cm long. The sum of the left and right sides of the triangle is 14 + 12 = 26 cm. If the sum of all sides of the is 50, and the left and right sides of the triangle are 26, the triangle base is 50 - 26 = 24 cm.
So the answer is 24.

[Question]: Michael is baking a cake and needs 6 cups of flour. The only measuring cup he has is the 1/4 cup. He has an 8 cup bag of flour and realizes it would be faster to measure the flour he doesn't need, take it out of the bag, and then dump the rest of the bag into the bowl. How many scoops should he remove?
[Answer]: He needs to remove 2 cups of flour because 8 minus 6 equals 2. He needs to use 8 scoops because 2 divided by .25 equals 8.
So the answer is 8.

[Question]: Samira is the assistant coach of a soccer team playing against one of the best teams in their league. She has four dozen water bottles filled with water in a box. In the first break of the match, the 11 players on the field each take two bottles of water from Samira's box, and at the end of the game, take one more bottle each. How many bottles of water are remaining in Samira's box?
[Answer]:
If the box has four dozen bottles of water, there are 4 * 12 = 48 bottles of water in the box. After the first half, the 11 players take 11 * 2 = 22 bottles of water from the box. If they take 11 more bottles of water at the end of the game, the number increases to 22 + 11 = 33 bottles of water taken. Without the bottles taken, there are 48 - 33 = 15 bottles of water remaining in the box.
So the answer is 15.
