Ben fenced his backyard using 350 feet of fencing. The width of his yard is 12 feet less than twice the length. Which equation can be used to determine the dimensions of his yard?

• x(2x - 12) = 350
• 2x + 700 = x
• x + (2x - 12) = 350
• 2x + 2(2x - 12) = 350

Rachel and Sharon are splitting up their Pokemon cards.  Rachel has 4 fewer than 3 times as many as Sharon.  Together they have 100 cards.  Which equation could be used to solve for how many cards Sharon had originally?

• n + (3n - 4) = 100
• n - (3n - 4) = 100
• n + (4 - 3n) = 100
• 4 - 3n = 100

Madison, Trinity and Brenda buy a surfboard to share. Madison paid $5 more than Brenda and Trinity paid $7 more than Brenda. What is the best way to represent the girl's?

• Madison = m

  Trinity = t

  Brenda = b

• Madison = m + 5

  Trinity = t + 7

  Brenda = b

• Madison = b + 5

  Trinity = b + 7

  Brenda =b

• Madison = m

  Trinity = m + 7

  Brenda = m + 5
