A situation equation follows the order of the story problem.

For instance:

Johnny has 8 apples, he eats some, and has 3 left.

The situation equation would be: 8 - a = 3

A solution equation is the equation that would help you find the solution. Your brain doesn't automatically know what "a" is, it has to rearrange the order of the equation and then solve.

The solution equation would be: 8 - 3 = a, then you would solve it.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
