The Frederick County Fair costs $15.00 to get in and $2.50 per ride, while the Montgomery County Fair costs $10.00 to get in and $3.00 per ride. Which equation could be used to determine how many rides you would need to go on for both fairs to be of equal value?
15x + 2.5 = 10x + 3
15 - 2.5x = 10 - 3x
15 + 2.5x = 10 + 3x
15 - 10 = 2.5x + 3x
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)
At Gamestop you can buy a Xbox One for $150.00 and each game to go with it would cost $24.00. Or, you can buy a Playstation 4 for $180.00 and each game for $20.00. Write an equation to determine how many games would need to be purchased for both systems to cost you the same amount.
150x + 24 = 180 + 20x
150 + 24x = 180 + 20x
180 - 150 = 24 x + 20x
150 - 24x = 180 - 20x

Jo needs to collect 1,000 signatures for a petition. He has 520 and wants to collect the same number each week. He has 6 more weeks. Which equation represents this situation?
520x+6=1000

1000−520x=6
1000+6x=520
