Writing Linear Equations from Word Problems

Mrs. Chef Check introduces solving linear equations from word problems. The video covers examples involving fair rides, candle sales, and film rolls, demonstrating how to write and solve equations in the form ax + B = C. The video concludes with a practice problem on saving money for a bike, reinforcing the concept of using linear equations to solve real-world problems.

What form do all the equations in this video take?

• ax + b = c

• ab + x = c

• ax - b = c

• a + bx = c

In the equation form ax + b = c, what does 'x' represent?

• A known number

• A coefficient

• A variable or unknown

• A constant

How much did Estelle spend in total at the fair?

• $4.50

• $37.50

• $31.50

• $6

What is the first step to solve the equation for Estelle's rides?

• Add 6 to both sides

• Subtract 6 from both sides

• Multiply both sides by 4.50

• Divide both sides by 4.50
