At Joe's Clown Car Rental Agency, renting a car costs a one time fee of $35 plus $0.75 for every mile it is driven. Which of the equations below would be the correct if it costs Melissa $105 to rent a car?
105 = x(35 + 0.75)
105 = 35x + 0.75
105 = 0.75x + 35
105 = 0.75(x + 35)
Tube has already baked 4 cakes, and he can bake 1 cake with each additional stick of butter he buys. Write an equation that shows the relationship between the number of additional sticks of butter x and the number of cakes y.

A man is climbing down from 100 feet high descending 30 feet per minute.
y = 100 - 30x
y = 100 + 30x
y = 100x + 30
y = 100x - 30
In this soccer season, Emma has scored 1 more than twice the number of Nick's goals. If Emma has scored 15 goals, which equation can be used to find x, the number of Nick's goals?

A rectangle has a perimeter of 100 inches. Its length is one more than two and a half times its width. Which equation can be used to determine the width of the rectangle?
2.5x + 1 = 100

5x + 2 = 100
7x + 2 = 100
. Lexi's Great Grandmother is twelve years older than six times her age. The sum of their ages is 117. Which equation can be used to determine Lexi's age?
6x - 12 = 117

There are 15 animals in a barn. These animals are horses and chickens. There are 44 legs in all. Which system of equations represents the situation?
x + y = 15
4x + 2y = 44
4x + 2y = 15
x + y = 44
x = 2y + 44
4x = y + 15
2x - 4y = 44
x - y = 15
If ChipCo sold their bags of corn chips for $5 per bag plus $1 for bagging it and it costs the same as $4 per bag of CrunchyChips corn chips plus their price of $2 for bagging it, what would the equation be and how many bags of chips would make them cost the same?
5 + 1x = 2x + 4; 1 bag of chips
9x = 3; 3 bags of chips
5x + 1 = 4x + 2; 1 bag of chips
5x = 6x; -1 bag of chips
