The correct equation was 7x + 35 = 63.
So, how many hours did he work on Kylie's car if her bill was $63?

• x = 4
• x = 5
• x = 3
• x = 4.5

Penelope is going to the carnival to ride the rides. It costs $20 to get into the carnival and ride tickets are $0.50 each. Write an equation that represents this scenario if she spends $35 in all.

• .50x + 20 = 35
• .50x = 35
• .50 + 20x = 35 
• .50x - 20 = 35

Q4. Penelope is going to the carnival to ride the rides. It costs $20 to get into the carnival and ride tickets are $0.50 each.

The correct equation was .50x + 20 = 35.
