Set Up Two Step equation given a practical situation

Keith bought 6 candy bars. He spent a total of 14 dollars. Which equation represents the cost of each candy bar?

• 6x = 14

• 6x = 14x

• 14x = 6

• x + 6 = 14

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

The Roaming Cell Phone Company charges $15.00 plus $0.20 per minute of airtime usage. If Tara's cell phone bill is $75 for one month, which equation represents the amount of minutes she talked on the phone?

• 0.20(x + 15) = 75

• 15x + 0.20 = 75

• 15x + 0.20x = 75

• 0.20x + 15 = 75

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

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

A taxi charges $3, plus $1.50 for each mile traveled.  Mr. Lewis rode in the taxi from his home to the airport and was charged $30.  Which equation represents the amount of miles Mr. Lewis lives from the airport?

• 1.50x + 3 = 30

• 3x + 1.50x = 30

• 30 - 1.50 = 3x

Natalie is a softball coach. She has a pitching private lesson with Kasey. Kasey's mom pays Natalie $11 per hour plus a $6 tip. 
Which equation represents the amount of hours Natalie spent on the lesson if the total amount her mom paid was $39?

• 6x + 11 = 39

• 11x + 6 = 39

• 11x + 6x = 39

• 11(x + 6) = 39

Imani spent half of her weekly allowance playing mini-golf. To earn more money her parents let her wash the car for $4. Which equation represents her weekly allowance if she ended with $12?

• 0.5x+4=12
• x+4=12
• 12-4=x
• 12-4=0.5x

Aliyah has a total of $24 to spend on seven pencils. After buying them she had $10. Which equation represents the cost of each pencil?

• 24-10=7x

• 24+7x=10

• 10+7x=24

• 10+x=14

The Frederick County Fair costs $15.00 to get in and $2.50 per ride, while the Montgomery County Fair costs $10.00 to get in and $3.00 per ride. Which equation could be used to determine how many rides you would need to go on for both fairs to be of equal value?

• 15x + 2.5 = 10x + 3

• 15 - 2.5x = 10 - 3x

• 15 + 2.5x = 10 + 3x

• 15 - 10 = 2.5x + 3x
