Two Step Equations from Words

Translate the equation from words to Algebra:

5 times a number x minus 4 is equivalent to 16

• 5x-4=16

• 5xx-4=16

• 4-5x=16

• 16-4=5x

Choose the equation that represents this sentence: 2 times a number x added to 5 is 18.

• 2x + 5 = 18

• 2x + 18 = 5

• 7x = 18
