Observaciones y contexto

- This problem is an example of how we can solve the same problem by different methods and obtain the right solution. However, we have prioritized resolution using equations.

- The proposed activity can be solved by two different methods: the algebraic method, with the use of equations; and the logical method, using operations with numbers and the concept of division.

- It is important to check the solution.

- Elena Cornaro Piscopia was an esteemed member of various academies throughout Europe and received visits from scholars from all over the world. She liked to debate and lecture on theology and compose music. Even today, she is widely cited by scholars and writers.

- Although she mastered almost all branches of knowledge, she taught Mathematics to students from all over Europe at the University of Padua.

- In her time, Italy was more advanced than the rest of Europe and there were already women studying science and mathematics at the University, but access to the doctorate was still forbidden to them. When she was not allowed to study for a doctorate in Theology, since she ran into the intransigence of the Church that could not conceive of a woman teaching monks, she decided to prepare for a doctorate in Philosophy.

- Piscopia's predecessors are Theano of Crotone (c. 546 – c. 450 BC) and Hypatia of Alexandria (c. 370 - c. 416 AD), who were also mathematicians and philosophers; Sophia Brahe (1555-1643), astronomer, horticulturist, alchemist and genealogist.

- Her contemporaries were renowned astronomers, such as Elisabeth Hevelius (1647-1693); Jeanne Dumée (1660-1706); Margaret Flamsteed (1670-1730); Maria Margarethe Winckelmann Kirch (1670-1720); or Maria Clara Eimmart (1776-1707); and important scientists, such as Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717), naturalist, entomologist and scientific illustrator; and the mathematician Marie Crous.

Descripción

Solving first-degree equations from a statement. A comprehensive reading of the problem will be done to identify the key words that will be translated into mathematical language. It is necessary to organise the information, select the appropriate notation and activate previous knowledge to find the strategy for solving the problem. It is interesting to check the result.
