e - 2 = -6

• e = 8

• e = -8

• e = 4

• e = -4

-3f = 18

• f = 6

• f = -6

• f = 21

• f = 15

y/-5 = 20

• x = 10

• x = 3

Amy was given an amount of money, m, for a good grades on her report card. She spent $15.00 and now has $25.32. How much money did she get for good grades? Write an equation you could use to solve this problem. Use m as your variable.

• m-25.32=15

• m/25.32

• m-15=25.32

• 15m=25.32

Working together, Joy and Steve collected 53 pounds of aluminum cans for recycling. If Joy collected 20 pounds, find the number of pounds, x, that Steve collected. Using x as your variable write an equation to solve.

• 20x=53

• x-20=53

• x-53=20

• x+20=53

Robin made $24.00 one weekend and some money, m, the next. She made a total of $65.00. How much money did Robin make the second weekend? Using m as your variable write an equation to solve this problem.

• 24m=65

• m/24=65

• m+24=65

• m-24=65

Billy bought 5 items that each cost the same amount. If he spent a total of $62.00 on the items, how much did each item cost? Use d as your variable and write an equation to solve this problem.

• d/5=62

• d-5=62

• 5d=62

Nancy won a certain number of pieces of gum playing the bean bag toss at the county fair. At school she gave 21 away to her classmates. She only has 5 remaining. How many pieces of gum did she have originally? Write an equation to solve this problem using g as your variable.

• g/21=5

• g-21=5

• g-5=21

• g+5=21

After paying $3.32 for a sandwich, Brenda has $19.79. How much money did she start with? Which equation could you use to solve this problem?

• 3.32m=19.79

• m-19.97=3.32

• m-3.32=19.79
