Linear Equations Problems

Find the equation of the line in the graph.

• y = 2x + 5

• y = -2x + 5

• y = 5 + 2x

• y = - x + 5

The Roaming Cell Phone Company charges $15.00 per month plus $0.20 per minute of airtime usage.  If Juanita uses x minutes of airtime, what is an equation that can be used to determine her monthly cell phone bill (C)?

• C = 15 + 0.20x

• C =15 (0.20x)

• C = 15 + x + 0.20

• C = 0.20 + 15x

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

A fitness club opens with 80 members. Each month the membership increases by 15 members. Which equation represents the relationship between the number of months the club has been opened, x, and the total fitness club membership, y?

• y=15x

• y=15x+80

• y=x+15

• y=80x+15

-16x=2y-10

• 8x+y=5

• -16x-2y=10

• 16x+2y=-10

• 8x-y=-5

Rewrite the equation in STANDARD form.

-16x=2y-10

• 8x+y=5

• -16x-2y=10

• 16x+2y=-10

• 8x-y=-5

-4=-x+2y 

•  x-2y=4

• x-2y=-4 

• 4=x-2y 

• x+2y=4 

Solve -7x + 7y = 21 for y

• y = 3x + 3

• y = -3x + 3

• y = x + 3

• y = x - 3

-2x+20=-5y 

• 2x+5y=20

• 2x-5y=20

• 20=2x-5y 

• -2x+5y=-20
