Writing Two-Step Linear Equations

Craig has 5 laps to walk for CATCH every day. Craig also has to walk 20 additional laps because of his bad behavior in class. If he walked 50 laps, what equation can be used to solve for x, the number of days he walked laps?

Please add spaces in between your numbers, variables, and characters unless they are being multiplied. The variable and its coefficient will come before the set number, and the total amount will come before the side with x.

Cappy McCapperson capped 16 times a day for a number of weeks. Before he started doing this, however, he already capped 80 times. If he capped 336 times during the weeks he capped, what equation can be used to solve for x, the number of weeks he capped? Please add spaces in between your numbers, variables, and characters unless they are being multiplied.

Bob the Builder used the same amount of iron nuts every day in 2020. The year after that, he used only 22 iron nuts in total. Bob used 1120 nuts over the course of both years. Write an equation to solve for x, the number of nuts he used each day in 2020. (keep in mind that Leap Years exist) Please add spaces in between your numbers, variables, and characters unless they are being multiplied.

A goat stole 10 pairs of buckle shoes from his master. Over the course of three days, the master got the same amount of shoes back every day. After three days, the goat only had one pair of buckle shoes. He wanted two pairs, but one pair would do. Write an equation to solve for x, how many pairs of shoes the goat's master recovered from the goat.

If cubes were units, and triangles were the value x, write an equation to solve for x to the following scenario. I had 200 cubes. A set amount of cubes fit into a triangle I want to call x. 16 people took a triangle from me (after I had fitted all the cubes into the triangles. The cubes that were leftover were not put into triangles.). At the end of the day, I only had 88 cubes left.
