Belle was given an amount of money, m m m , for a good grades on her report card. She spent $15.00 and now has $40.00. How much money did she get for good grades? Write an equation you could use to solve this problem. Use m as your variable.

m − 15.00 = 40.00 m-15.00=40.00 m − 1 5 . 0 0 = 4 0 . 0 0

40.00 m = 15.00 40.00m=15.00 4 0 . 0 0 m = 1 5 . 0 0

m + 15.00 = 40.00 m+15.00=40.00 m + 1 5 . 0 0 = 4 0 . 0 0

m 15.00 = 40.00 \frac{m}{15.00}=40.00 1 5 . 0 0 m = 4 0 . 0 0

Cortine's cat made $24.00 one weekend and some money, m m m , the next weekend. She made a total of $65.00. How much money did Cortine's cat make the second weekend? Using m as your variable write an equation to solve this problem.

m + 24 = 65 m+24=65 m + 2 4 = 6 5

m 24 = 65 \frac{m}{24}=65 2 4 m = 6 5

m − 24 = 65 m-24=65 m − 2 4 = 6 5

After paying $8.35 for a sandwich, Lil Vulgris has $19.79. How much money did she start with? Which equation could you use to solve this problem?

m − 8.35 = 19.79 m-8.35=19.79 m − 8 . 3 5 = 1 9 . 7 9

8.35 m = 19.79 8.35m=19.79 8 . 3 5 m = 1 9 . 7 9

m − 19.97 = 8.32 m-19.97=8.32 m − 1 9 . 9 7 = 8 . 3 2

m 19.79 = 8.35 \frac{m}{19.79}=8.35 1 9 . 7 9 m = 8 . 3 5

Which equation matches best with the following scenario: After paying $7.12 for McKenna's meal, Coach Resek has $27.10. How much money did he have before buying the meal?

27.10 + 7.12 = x 27.10+7.12=x 2 7 . 1 0 + 7 . 1 2 = x

27.10 − 7.12 = x 27.10-7.12=x 2 7 . 1 0 − 7 . 1 2 = x

7.12 x = 27.10 7.12x=27.10 7 . 1 2 x = 2 7 . 1 0

x 7.12 = 27.10 \frac{x}{7.12}=27.10 7 . 1 2 x = 2 7 . 1 0

Which equation best matches this scenario: At a restaurant, Brayden and three of his friends decided to divide the bill evenly. If each person paid $13 then what was the total bill?

x 4 = 13 \frac{x}{4}=13 4 x = 1 3

x 3 = 13 \frac{x}{3}=13 3 x = 1 3

13 ( 4 ) = x 13(4)=x 1 3 ( 4 ) = x

Adele and Hannah found some money in their couch along with a module 6 packet. They split the money evenly, each getting $12.50. How much money did they find?

x 2 = 12.50 \frac{x}{2}=12.50 2 x = 1 2 . 5 0

x + 12.50 = 6 x+12.50=6 x + 1 2 . 5 0 = 6

2 x = 12.50 2x=12.50 2 x = 1 2 . 5 0

x − 2 = 12.50 x-2=12.50 x − 2 = 1 2 . 5 0

After a power failure, the temperature in a freezer increased at an average rate of 2.5 ° F 2.5\degree F 2 . 5 ° F per hour. The total increase was 7.5 ° F 7.5\degree F 7 . 5 ° F . Write an equation to find the number of hours until the power was restored.

2.5 x = 7.5 2.5x=7.5 2 . 5 x = 7 . 5

x + 2.5 = 7.5 x+2.5=7.5 x + 2 . 5 = 7 . 5

x − 2.5 = 7.5 x-2.5=7.5 x − 2 . 5 = 7 . 5

x 2.5 = 7.5 \frac{x}{2.5}=7.5 2 . 5 x = 7 . 5

Alyssa J has some money in her checking account. If she writes a check for $ 42.50 \text{}\text{42.50} 42.50 , her checking account will be overdrawn by $ 23.75 \$23.75 $ 2 3 . 7 5 . Which equation shows how much money is in Alyssa's checking out now?

x − 42.50 = − 23.75 x-42.50=-23.75 x − 4 2 . 5 0 = − 2 3 . 7 5

x + 42.50 = − 23.75 x+42.50=-23.75 x + 4 2 . 5 0 = − 2 3 . 7 5

x − 23.75 = 42.50 x-23.75=42.50 x − 2 3 . 7 5 = 4 2 . 5 0

23.75 x = 42.50 23.75x=42.50 2 3 . 7 5 x = 4 2 . 5 0

A scuba diver is exploring at an elevation of − 15.5 -15.5 − 1 5 . 5 meters. As the diver rises to the surface, she plans to stop and rest briefly at a reef that has an elevation of − 6.45 -6.45 − 6 . 4 5 meters. Which equation shows the vertical distance that the diver traveled?

− 15.5 + x = − 6.45 -15.5+x=-6.45 − 1 5 . 5 + x = − 6 . 4 5

x − 15.5 = 6.45 \frac{x}{-15.5}=6.45 − 1 5 . 5 x = 6 . 4 5

− 15.5 x = − 6.45 -15.5x=-6.45 − 1 5 . 5 x = − 6 . 4 5

− 15.5 − x = − 6.45 -15.5-x=-6.45 − 1 5 . 5 − x = − 6 . 4 5

I try a lot of different food. Some are winners, like this Spam, Mayo and Oreo burger, and some are losers, like Tuna and Peanut Butter. I give my food a score -1 if it's bad, +1 if it's good. So far my total score is 5, but I've have 15 bad pieces of food. How many good have I had? What equation could I use to represent this problem?

− 15 g = 5 -\frac{15}{g}=5 − g 1 5 = 5
