The maximum size for a text message is 160 characters. Which equation represents this situation if y = characters remaining and x = characters used?

• y = 160 - x

• y = 160x

• y = 160 + x

• 160 + y = x

The sum of a number x and 4 equals 12. Choose the Correct equation.

• x + 4 = 12

• 4x = 12

• 12 + 4 = x

• 12x = 4

FUNDRAISING Students and faculty raised $6042 for band uniforms. The faculty raised $1780. Write an equation you can use to fi nd the amount a raised by the students.

• 1780 - a = 6042

• 6042 / 1780 = a

• 6042 = 1780 + a

• 6042 - a = 1780
