Algebra 6.4

Choose all of the equations that describe each situation. Find the value of x.

Clare has 8 fewer books than Mai. If Mai has 26 books, how many books does Clare have?

• 26 - x = 8; x = 17

• x = 26 + 8; x = 34

• x + 8 = 26; x = 18

• 26 - 8 = x; x = 18

Choose all of the equations that describe each situation. Find the value of y.

A coach formed teams of 8 from all the players in a soccer league. There are 14 teams. How many players are in the league?

• y = 14 $\div$ 8; y = 118

• $\frac{y}{8}$ = 14; y = 118

• $\frac{1}{8}$ y = 14; y = 118

• y = 14(8); y = 118

Choose all of the equations that describe each situation. Find the value of z.

Kiran scored 223 more points in a computer game than Tyler. If Kiran scored 409 points, how many points did Tyler score?

• 223 - z = 409; z = 176

• 223 = 409 - z; z = 186

• 409 + 223 = z; z = 186

• 409 = 223 + z; z = 186

Choose all of the equations that describe each situation. Find the value of w.

Mai ran 27 miles last week, which was three times as far as Jada ran. How far did Jada run?

• 3w = 27; w = 9

• $\frac{1}{3}$ x 27 = w; w = 9

• 27(3) = w; w = 9

• w = 27/9; w = 9

Mai’s mother was 28 when Mai was born. Mai is now 12 years old. In how many years will Mai’s mother be twice Mai’s age? How old will they be then?

• 15 years; Mai will be 29 and her mother will be 57.

• 16 years; Mai will be 28 and her mother will be 56.

• 18 years; Mai will be 30 and her mother will be 58.

• 17 years; Mai will be 27 and her mother will be 55.

Which is the correct expression for the phrase: "14 less pickles than are in the jar"?

• 14 - x
