Solving and Writing Two-Step Equations

You bought a magazine for $5 and four erasers. You spent a total of $25. How much did each eraser cost?  (Define 'n' and write the equation.) 

• n=total cost of erasers; 5 + 4n = 25

• n=cost of 1 eraser; 5 - 4n = 25

• n=cost of 1 eraser; 5n + 4 = 25

• n=cost of 1 eraser; 5 + 4n = 25

Which equation matches the following situation? 331 students went on a field trip. Six buses were filled and 7 students traveled in a car. How many students were in each bus?

• n= # of students in each bus; 6n + 7 =331

• n=# of buses; 6n + 7 =331

• n= # of students in each bus; 6 + 7n =331

• n= # of students in each bus; 6n - 7 =331

How would you solve each equation?

• add 4 to both sides of =

• x-4=12

• divide both sides of = by 4

• x+4=12

• subtract 4 from both sides of =

• multiply both sides of = by 4

• 4x=12
