Creating Equations with Variables

The product of 12 and a number is the same as 2 removed from a number

• 12x=x+2

• 12x=2-x

• 12-2=x-2

• 12x= x-2

a number halved is equal to 22 fewer than a number

• b⁄2 = 22-b

• 2b =22- b

• n⁄2=n-22

• None of the above

120 more than twice a number is the same as halve a number removed from 8

• 2t+120= t⁄2-8

• 120+2t = t⁄2-8

• 2t+120 = 8-t⁄2

Mrs. Rucker made 24 tacos. Her family ate 13 of them. Then Mrs. Rucker made 12 more tacos. Which equation can be used to find t, the number of tacos she had then?

• 24 + 13 - 12 = t

• 24 + 13 + 12 = t

• 24 - 13 + 12 = t

• 24 - 13 - 12 = t

Raymond buys bottles of water at $2 each and a large pizza at $13. The total cost was $21. How many bottles of water did Raymond buy?
What is the correct equation to solve?

• 2b + 13 = 21

• 2 + 13b = 21

• 2 + 13 = 21b

• 2b +21 = 13
