Real World Two Step Equation

Penelope is going to the carnival to ride the rides. It costs $20 to get into the carnival and ride tickets are $0.50 each. Write an equation that represents this scenario if she spends $35 in all.

• .50x + 20 = 35

• .50x = 35

• .50 + 20x = 35 

• .50x - 20 = 35

Aliyah had $24 to spend on seven pencils. After buying them she had $10. How much did each pencil cost?

• 24-10=7x

• 24+7x=10

• 10+7x=24

• 10+x=14

Aliyah had $24 to spend on seven pencils. After buying them she had $10. How much did each pencil cost?

• $2

• $14

• $7

• $0.50

Scott works on cars. He charges $35 for each car plus $7 per hour. Write an equation that represents this scenario if Kylie's car bill was $63.

• 7x + 35 = 63

• 7x = 63

• 7x - 35 = 63

• 35x + 7 = 63

• 0

• 1

• -1

• 4

• x=-10

• x=2

• No Solution

• All Real Numbers

What is the last step you should do to solve this equation?

• Add 6 to both sides

• Divide both sides by -6

• Divide both sides by 36

• Multiply both sides by -6

Scott works on cars. He charges $35 for each car plus $7 per hour. If Kylie's car bill was $63, find how many hours Scott worked on it.

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
