Creating and Solving Equations

WRITE AN EQUATION

You bought a $5 magazine and four

erasers. You spent a total of $25. How

much did each eraser cost?

• 5+x=25

• 4x + 5 = 25

• 5x = 25

• 5x + 4 = 25

Scott works on cars. He charges $35 for each car plus $7 per hour. Write an equation that represents this scenario if Kylie's car bill was $63.

• 7x + 35 = 63
• 7x = 63
• 7x - 35 = 63
• 35x + 7 = 63

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 product of 12 and a number is the same as 2 removed from a number

• 12x=x+2
• 12x=2-x
• 12-2=x-2
• 12x= x-2

Renting boats on a lake costs $22 per hour plus a flat fee of $10 for insurance. If you paid $98 to rent the boat, how many hours did you rent the boat?
What is the correct equation to solve?

• 22 + 10h = 98
• 22 + 10 = 98h
• 98 + 10 = 22h
• 22h + 10 = 98

Raymond buys bottles of water at $2 each and a large pizza at $13. The total cost was $21. How many bottles of water did Raymond buy?
What is the correct equation to solve?

• 2b + 13 = 21
• 2 + 13b = 21
• 2 + 13 = 21b
• 2b +21 = 13

A gymnastics center charges a $60 registration fee and $15 per class. Olivia registers to take a class and pays a total of $210. Which equation can be used to determine how many classes Olivia signed up for?  

• 60 - 15x = 210 
• 15x - 60 = 210
• 15x + 60 = 210 
• 210 + 15x = 60
