Check In: Writing Equations

Julissa has 25 dollars.  She is going to buy a bag of Twizzlers that costs $3.50.  She wants to spend the rest of her money on gum that costs $4.50 per package. Which equation can be used to find out how many packages of gum she can purchase?

• 3.50x + 4.50 = 25

• 3.50x + 25 = 4.50

• 4.50x + 3.50 = 25

• 4.50x + 25 = 3.50

The perimeter of the rectangle is 80 inches. SELECT ALL equations that can be used to find the value of x.

• x + 3x - 2 = 80

• x(3x - 2) = 80

• x + 3x - 2 + x + 3x - 2 = 80
