65 is the same as five added to the product of 3 and a number, w.

• 5 + 65 = 3w
• 65 = 5 + (3 + w)
• 65 = (5 + 3) × w
• 65 = 5 + 3w

12 less than the quotient of a number and 3 is 24.

• (n ÷ 3) − 12 = 24
• 12 − (n ÷ 3) = 24
• (n ÷ 12) − 3 = 24
• 3 − (n ÷ 12) = 24

40 is equal to the difference of a number and 4, added to the product of the same number and 5.

• 40 = (y ÷ 4) + 5y
• 40 = (4 − y) + 5y
• 40 = 5y − (y + 4)
• 40 = (y − 4) + 5y

54 fewer than a number, k, is equal to 100.

• k − 54 = 100
• 100 − k = 54
• 54 − k = 100
• 100 − 54 = k

A number tripled subtracted from 60 is the same as 21.

• 3c − 60 = 21
• 60 − 3 = 21c
• 60 − 3c = 21
• c(60 − 3) = 21

A number p added to 12, divided by 2 equals 2.

• p + (12 ÷ 2) = 2
• (p + 12) ÷ 2 = 2
• p ÷ 12 + 2 = 2
• (p ÷ 2) + 12 = 2

Together, Sarah and Macy had $55.  Sarah had $15.  Write an equation you can use to find the amount of money, m, Macy had.

• m + 15 = 55
• m + 55 = 15
• 55 − m = 15
• 55 − 15 = m

Paul bought 2 loaves of bread at the grocery store for $3.50 each and x boxes of pasta for $1.99.  He spent $12.97.  Write an equation you can use to determine the amount of boxes of pasta Paul bought.

• 3.50x + 1.99 = 12.97
• 3.50(x) + 12.97 = 1.99
• 12.97 = 7 + 1.99x
• 1.99x + 3.50 = 12.97
