If x is the solution to the equation 3x - 9 = 27, what other equations also have x as the solution?

• x + 3 = 27

• x - 3 = 9

• x - 9 = 18

• -15x + 45 = -135

• 6x - 18 = 54

A holiday meal cost $12.50 a person plus a delivery fee of $30. Which equation represents the amount a holiday meal costs(y), including delivery, for x people?

• y = 12.50 + 30x

• y = 30 + 12.50x

• y = 12.50 + 30

• 12.50x = 30

Eddie's Electric charges $90 per hour plus a $50 traveling fee. Which equation models this scenario?

• y = -50x + 90

• y = 90x + 50

• y = -90 - 50x

• y = 50 - 90x
