2 Step equations with word problems

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

5 ( x - 4) = -10

• x = -2

• x = -20

• x = 2

• 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

0 .50x + 20 = 35.

• x = 30

• x = 25

• x = 35

• x = 31

Which equation would describe "two times a number plus five equals 15"?

• x + 5 = 15
• 2x + 5=15
• x + 2(5) = 15
• 2(x + 5) = 15

Jim paid a gym membership fee of $50, plus $20 per month.  Jim has paid a total of $290 to the gym.  How many months has Jim been a member of the gym?

• 50 + 20m = 290
• 20 + 50m = 290
• 50 + 20 = m
• 50m - 20 = 290

-2x - 5 = -17

• x=8

• x= -6

• x=6

5 ( x - 3) = 20

• x = 7

• x = 10

• x = -3

• x = 6
