Solving Single Step Equations, EE.7

Which equation represents the following scenario?
Edger jogs for 20 minutes. He stretches and then jogs some more. In total, he jogs for 35 minutes. Let j = the number of miles he jogs after stretching.

• 35 + 20 = j
• 20 + j = 35
• 20j = 35
• j - 20 = 35

Which equation represents the following scenario?
Brooklyn rents 2 movies every week. After some number of weeks, she has rented 26 movies. Use w = the number of weeks.

• 26w = 2

• w + 26 = 2
• 2w = 26

Solve for p:
11p = 121

• 11
• 12
• 110
• 456

Solve for q:
q + 8.25 = 18

• q = 807
