Equations One Step Real World

A scuba diver dove 16 ft to an elevation of -50 ft. What was her elevation before the dive?

Which equation matches the scenario?

• x - 1/6 = 50

• x - 16 = -50

• 1/6 x = 50

• -50 = 16x

If you divide the age of Grampa Gump by 16, you get the age of Junior Gump. If Junior is 5 years old, how old is grampa?

Which equation matches the scenario?

• x/16 = 5

• x - 1/6 = 15

• 8x - 3x = 450

• 16/x = 5x

Solve for x. x - 15 = 45

• 30

• 40

• 50

• 60

Solve for y.

2y = 38

• 40

• 36

• 19

• 16

Solve for x.

-36 + x = -100

• 136

• -64

• 64

• -136

A chest was resting on the ocean floor 500 ft below the surface. It was lifted to the deck of a ship 16 ft above the surface. How far was the chest lifted?

Which equation matches the scenario?

• 16x = 500

• x - 16 = -500

• 16x = -500

• -500 + x = 16

Why did your teacher tell you we needed to use word problems when we solve algebraic equations?

• To annoy you

• To make you laugh

• To show real world examples

• To confuse you

I can write one-step equations to model real-world situations and then solve the equations. Write an equation: A chicken lays about 250 eggs a year. If a chicken has already laid 65 eggs, how many more is she expected to lay this year?

• x+65=250

• 250+65=x

• 65x=250

• 65x+250=315

I can write one-step equations to model real-world situations and

then solve the equations.

Solve the equation:

A chicken lays about 250 eggs a year. If a chicken has already laid

65 eggs, how many more is she expected to lay this year?

• 185

• 315

• 4

• 1

I can write two-step equations to model real-world situations and then solve the equations. An ice cream shop is expected to sell 300 cones in a day. They have already sold 75 cones today and expect to sell 50 cones an hour for the remainder of the day. How many hours will the shop need to meet their goal? Write an equation

• 300+50=75x

• 50x+75=300

• 75x+50=300

• 75x+50x=300x
