Two Step Equations and Word Problems

331 students went on a field trip. Six buses were filled and 7 students traveled in cars. How many students were in each bus? Write an equation that matches this situation.

• 331=7x+6
• 331=13x
• 331=6x+7
• 331-7=6x

331 students went on a field trip. Six buses were filled and 7 students traveled in cars. The equation from the last problem was: 6x+7=331. How many students were in each bus?

• 54
• 45
• 56
• 65

WRITE AN EQUATION

Aliyah had $24 to spend on seven pencils. After buying them she had $10. How much did each pencil cost?

• 24-10=7x

• 7x + 24=10

• 7x + 10=24

• x + 10=14

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

The steps in solving 5b - 6 = 24 are: 

• Add 6 to both sides and divide both sides by 5
• Add 6 to both sides and multiply both sides by 5
• Subtract 6 from both sides then multiply both sides by 5
• Subtract 6 from both sides then divide both sides by 5
