One Step Equations and Word Problems

Solve for x
17 = x + 3

• x = 20

• x = 14

• x = 13

• x = 19

x - 4 = 17

• x = 21

• x = 13

• x = 19

• x = 24

x + 24 = 44

• x = -20

• x = 68

• x = 20

• x = -68

c - 11 = 9

• c = -2

• c = -20

• c= 2

• c = 20

McKinley earns $14 per hour. Which equation represents how many hours she worked to earn $112?

A land surveyor must partition a distance of 2,600 feet into 40 identical parts. Each part will represent what number of feet? Let f be the number of feet in each part.

• 40f = 2,600

• f = 40 ÷ 2,600

• 2,600f = 40

• f = 2,600 − 40

r/4 = 13

• r = 17

• r = 52

• r = 27

• r = 9

c/16 = 2

• c = 1

• c = 2

• c = 32

• c = 18

To solve the equation
x + 5 = 8
 I would ....

• subtract 5 from x

• subtract 5 from both sides

• subtract 5 from one side and add 5 to the other

• add 5 to both sides

in 3a =12,
I would....

• add 3 to both sides

• subtract 3 from both sides

• divide both sides by 3

• divide just the right by 3
