Write Two-Step Equation

Cole buys a new laptop for $335. He makes a down payment of $50 and pays the rest in 6 equal payments, p. What equation represents the relationship between the cost of the laptop and Cole's payments?

• 6p + 50 = 335

• 50p + 6 = 335

• 6p - 50 = 335

• 50p - 6 = 335

Claire bought 8 tickets for a total cost of $104. She had used a coupon code to get $3 off each ticket. Let x be the original cost of each ticket. Which of the following equations correctly represents the situation?

• 3(x - 8) = 104

• 8(x - 3) = 104

• 8x - 3 = 104

• 8x - 24 = 104

• 3x - 8 = 104

Jordan wrote the following description: Three fewer than one fourth of x is 12. Write an equation to represent the description.

• 3 - 1/4x = 12

• 1/4x - 3 = 12

• 3 - 4x = 12

• 4x - 3 = 12

At a graduation dinner, an equal number of guests were seated at each of 3 large tables, and 7 late guests were seated at a smaller table. There were 37 guests in all. If n represents the number of people seated at each of the large tables, which equation represents the situation?

• 3n + 7 = 37

• 7n + 3 = 37

• 37 - 7 = 3n

• 7n - 3 = 37

• 3n - 7 = 37

Last night, 4 friends went out to dinner at a restaurant. They split the bill evenly. Each friends paid $12.75 for their meal and each left the same amount for a tip, t. The total amount for all 4 was $61. What was the tip amount for one person? Which equations could you use to describe the situation?

• 4t + 12.75 = 61

• (4t + 51)/2 = 61

• 4t + 51 = 61

• 4(t + 12.75) = 61

• t + 12.75 = 15.25
