Scott works on cars. He charges $35 for each car plus $7 per hour. Write an equation that represents this scenario if Kylie's car bill was $63.

• 7x + 35 = 63

• 7x = 63

• 7x - 35 = 63

• 35x + 7 = 63

Solve for x
l 2x−1 l = 9

• x = 5 and x =-4

• x = 5 and x = -5

• Only x = 5

• No Solution

Last season, I spent $2752 to see my team play 43 games.  To see each game, I had to buy a ticket and pay $10 for parking.  How much was each ticket?

• 10(x+43) = 2752

• x(10+43) = 2752

• 43(x+10) = 2752

• 2752(43+x)=10

Find four consecutive integers whose sum is 62.

Which equation would give you the answer?

• 4x + 4 = 62

• 4x + 6 = 62

• 4x + 1 = 62

• x + x + x + x = 62
