Solve Linear Equation

Everyday, A toy company spends $8 to make each teddy bear plus a $1500 fee for factory expenses.  They sell the teddy bears for $12 a piece.  Which equation could be used to find the number of bears t the company has to sell in one day to equal its daily cost?

• 1500 + 8t = 12

• 12 + 8t = 1500

• 1500 + 8t = 12t

• 8t = 12t + 1500

Solve the algebraic equation for p.

p+8 = 12

• 4

• 20

• 1.5

• 96

x - 12 = 2

• 24

• 10

• 20

• 14

z + 45 = 92

• z = -47

• z = 137

• z = 47

• z = -137

When you solve one-step equations, you can do anything you want to one side of the equal sign, as long as...

• it is mathematical

• you do the SAME thing to the other side

• solving equations is impossible

What is the correct step to solve for the variable?
15 = m - 5

• add 5 to both sides

• add 15 to both sides

• subtract 15 from both sides

• subtract 5 from both sides

3c = 12

• 36

• 4

• 15

• 9

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

• Add 3 to both sides

• Subtract 3 from both sides

• Multiply 3 on both sides

• Divide 3 on both sides.

x + 12 = -20

• x = 32

• x = -32

• x = 8

• x = -8

Solve for x:
2x + 5 = 12

• 7

• 3

• 3.5

• 8.5
