Solve an additive context equation
Problem
Mia had an unknown number of stickers. After getting \(6~\text{more}\), she had \(14\). Write and solve an addition equation for her starting number of stickers.
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
Separate the story into a starting amount, a change of six more stickers, and a final total of fourteen. Write the unknown start plus the increase as equal to the final total. Reversing the increase reveals the starting amount, and adding six back should return to fourteen with the sticker unit intact.
