In the equation
x + 7 = 12
7 is being added to the variable, x.
How should you show your work to isolate the variable and solve the equation?
Subtract 7 from both sides. The solution is x = 5.
Add 7 to both sides.
The solution is x = 19.
Multiply both sides by 7 The solution is x = 84.

Which choice models this situation?
Jack needed new pencils for school today. He took 6 pencils from a new box of pencils. If there are 18 pencils left in the box, how many pencils were in the brand new box?
p - 6 = 18
p + 6 = 18
6p = 18
p/6 = 18
How should you show your work to isolate the variable and solve the equation?
Jennifer handed the cashier a $50 bill to purchase her items and received $23.50 in change. Which equation represents this situation using the variable, p, to represent the cost of her items.
p + 23.5 = 50
50 - p = 23.5
50 - 23.5 = p
23.50 - p = 50
Bob weighed himself on a scale and found he weighs 123 pounds. Then, he picked up his cat and stood on the scale to find the total weight of 131 pounds. Which equation represents this situation using c as the weight of the cat?
131 - c = 123
123 + c = 131
131 - 123 = c
123 - c = 131
At the beginning of the game, there were 28 kids playing but some left. At the end of the game, there were only 15 kids. Which equation represents the situation using k for the kids who left?
15 + k = 28
28 - 15 = k
28 - k = 15
15 = m - 5

John had $100 in his bank account. He withdrew some money and now he has $75. Which equation represents the situation using m for the money John withdrew?
100 - m = 75
75 + m = 100
100 - 75 = m
75 - m = 100
