One Variable Two Step Equations

What is the first step in solving the equation?

• Add 4 to each side

• Subtract 4 from each side

• Subtract 2y from each side

• Divide each side by 2y

5x+4=^-6

• 2

• -2

• 10

• 15

x - 8 = -5 

• 13

• -13

• 3

• -3

An electrician charges $90 per hour plus a $50 travelling fee. Which equation represents the total cost of $340 for a repair by an electrician after x hours?

• 340 = 50 - 90x

• 340 = 90x + 50

• 340 = -50x + 90

• 340 = -90 - 50x

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

Jim paid a gym membership fee of $50, plus $20 per month. Jim has paid a total of $290 to the gym. Which equation matches this situation?

• 50 + 20m = 290

• 20 + 50m = 290

• 50 + 20 = m

• 50m - 20 = 290

Zorna weighs 92 pounds. Her weight is 6 pounds more than half of her father's weight. Which equation would help me find out how much her father weighs?

• 6x + 2 = 92

• x + 6 = 92

• 2x + 6 = 92

• x/2 + 6 = 92

The taxi charges $10 to ride and $.25 per mile. If Brenda spent $14.75, how many miles did you travel?

• 10 + 25x = 14.75

• 10 + .25x = 14.75

• 10 + .25 = 14.75

• 10x + .25 = 14.75

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

Solve for k:
3k + 5 = 23

• k = 4

• k = 5

• k = 6

• k = 7
