Question

This is a math question for my algebra class, not a logic question:
How do I make this into a math equation?

In this story, a prisoner must choose between two rooms.
One room contains a lady, the other a tiger.
If the prisoner chooses the room with the lady, he marries the lady
and lives happily ever after.
If he chooses the room with the tiger, he, well, ummm…….

The king of a certain country decided to make a game of the decision
by putting signs on the doors of each room and letting the prisoner
read the signs, then choose. If the prisoner could reason logically,
meaning mathematically, he could win the lady and live happily ever after.
Mathematics became the friend of the prisoner!

Door one-- in this room there is a lady and in the other room there is a tiger!
door two-- in one of these rooms there is a lady, and in one of these rooms these is a tiger

The prisoner was set free with the lady. Which door did he select? This is a math question for my algebra class, not a logic question:

Explanation / Answer

There exist two doors in a hallway, each with an answer to an equation on it, the equation is written on the floor with instructions below it: "The correct answer will set you free!". Behind one door is an A+ in a very difficult Algebra class, behind the other is a F- is the same Algebra class. Floor: "2(x+4)+1=11" Door One: "x=1 " Door Two "x=3" Assuming the student is a logical thinker, which door does he choose?
