Choose the one-step equation that models the situation.

Bob is reading a book from the "Harry Potter" series that has 607 pages. He has read 345 pages of the book and x pages remain.

Ben and Jerry together scored 50 points in the big game. If Ben scored 16 points, how many points did Jerry score?

Which equation fits this scenario?

• x + 16 = 50

• x - 16 = -50

• -500 + x = 16

• x - 16 = 500

One sixth of the candies in a bag of M&Ms are orange. If there are 15 orange candies how many M&Ms are in the bag? Which equation matches the scenario?

• x - 1/6 = 15

• -16x = 15

• 1/6 x = 15

• -15 = 16x
