331 students went on a field trip. Six buses were filled and 7 students traveled in cars. How many students were in each bus?

• 331=7x+6
• 331=13x
• 331=6x+7
• 331-7=6x

WRITE AN EQUATION

Aliyah had $24 to spend on seven pencils. After buying them she had $10. How much did each pencil cost?

• 24-10=7x

• 7x- 24=10

• 7x+ 10=24

• 10+x=14

WRITE AN EQUATION
You bought a $5 magazine and four
erasers. You spent a total of $25. How
much did each eraser cost?

• 5+x=25
• 5+4x=25
• 5x=25
• 23-5=4x

3c + 5 = 23

• c = 3
• c = 6
• c = 7
• c = 18

4x + 7 = 23

• x = 16
• x = 4
• x = 9
• x = 12

What is the first step to solve this equation:
11 - 3x = 44

• Add 3 to both sides
• Subtract 11 from both sides
• Add 11 to both sides
• Divide 3 on both sides.

Figure out what n equals in this equation:
6n + 4 = -26

• n=-6
• n= -5
• n= 8
• n= -4
