Creating/Solving One-Variable Equations

Rayshawn and Robert are both saving money for their summer vacations. They began saving at the same time. Rayshawn started with $10.25 and adds $5.15 to his savings every month. Robert did not have a starting amount but adds $10.25 to his savings every month. Which equation could be used to determine how many months, m, it will take before Rayshawn and Robert both have saved the same amount of money?

• 5.15m + 10.25 = 10.25m
• 10.25m + 5.15 = 10.25m
• 10.25m + 10.25 = 5.15m
• 10.25m – 5.15 = 10.25m

The bill for the repair of a computer was $179. The cost of parts was $44, and labor charge was $45 per hour. How many hours did it take to repair the computer?
What is the correct equation to solve?

• 44h + 45 = 175
• 44 + 45h = 175
• 44 + 175 = 45h
• 44 + 45 = 175h
