1-Step Writing and Solving Equations

Write an equation models the following statement:
 17 less than h equals 42

• 17-h=42
• h-17=42
• h+17=42
• 17+h=42

2. Cheryl gets paid $8 per hour for her job at the record store.  She made a total of $96 last week.  Which equation models this situation?

• 96h = 8
• h/96 = 8
• 8h = 96
• h/8 = 96

5.  After dropping 5ºF, the temperature was 37ºF.  Which choice models this situation?

• d - 37 = 5
• d + 5 = 37
• d - 5 = 37
• d + 37 = 5

Which choice models this situation?
Robyn had some video games, then bought 4 more.  Now she has a total of 10 games.

• v - 4 = 10
• v + 4 = 10
• 10/4 = v
• 4v = 10

10  =  z + 6

• z = 16
• z = -16
• z = 4
• z = -4

q - 12  =  1

• q = 13
• q = 11
• q = -11
• q = -13

r / 3  =  7

• r = 21
• r = 24
• r = 10
• r = 4

24  =  4c

• c = 48
• c = 20
• c = 8
• c = 6

Solve for x:

• x = 20
• x = 7
• x = 10
• x = 3

What equation matches this situation?
John wants to buy an MP3 Player that costs $30.98.  How much change did he receive if he gives the cashier $40.

• 40 + c = 39.98
• 30.98 + c = 40
• c - 40 = 39.98
• c - 39.98 = 40
