One-Step Equations and Inequalities to Represent and Solve Problems

Write an equation to represent the problem:
Todd caught three times as many fish this year than last year. He caught 63 fish by the end of the year. Which algebraic equation represents how many fish he caught last year? 

• 3f = 63
• 63 - 3 = f
• 63/3 = f
• 3 + f = 63

Solve the word problem.
Todd caught three times as many fish this year than last year. He caught 63 fish by the end of the year. Which algebraic equation represents how many fish he caught last year? Use the equation:
3f=63

• 189 fish
• 60 fish
• 21 fish

Write an equation to represent the problem given:
Last week Julia ran 30 miles more than Larry. Julia ran 47 miles in total. How many miles did Larry run?

• n + 47 = 30
• n + 30 = 47
• n - 30 = 47
• 30n =47

Solve the word problem.
Last week Julia ran 30 miles more than Larry. Julia ran 47 miles in total. How many miles did Larry run? Use the equation:
n+30=47

• 77 miles
• 17 miles

m - 14 = 76

• m = 90

• m = 52

• m = -62

• m = 80

13x = 65

• x = 4

• x = 5

• x = -3

• x = 7

16 = m/8

• m = 98

• m = 128

• m = 2

• m = 136

m+13=21

• m=34
• m=8
• m=273
• m=6

Solve for y:
y - 7 = 10

• 17
• -3
• 3
• -17

What equation matches this situation?
Robyn had some video games then bought 4 more.  Now she has a total of 10 games.

• v - 4 = 10
• v + 4 = 10
• 10 - 4 = v
