Lesson 5: Translating and Solving Equations

Working together, Joy and Steve collected 53 pounds of aluminum cans for recycling. If Joy collected 20 pounds, find the number of pounds, x, that Steve collected. Using x as your variable write an equation to solve.

• 20x=53
• x-20=53
• x-53=20
• x+20=53
