6p - 5 =13

• 12

• 15

• 3

• -3

4 = 2(x + 3)

• 1/2

• 7/2

• -1

• 5

What would be the best first step to solving the equation?

• add 18 to both sides

• subtract 18 from both sides

• add 12 to both sides

• subtract 12 from both sides

x + 14.2 = 3.871

• -10.329

• -17.071

• 10.329

• 18.071

Which equation would describe "the product of two and a number, increased by five, equals 15"?

• x + 5 = 15

• 2x + 5 = 15

• x + 2(5) = 15

• 2(x + 5) = 15

The steps in solving 5b - 6 = 24 are: 

• Add 6 to both sides and divide both sides by 5

• Add 6 to both sides and multiply both sides by 5

• Subtract 6 from both sides then multiply both sides by 5

• Subtract 6 from both sides then divide both sides by 5

18 = 3(3x-6)

• x = 4

• x = 1/44

• x = - 44

• x = - 4

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

• n=total cost pencils; 7n+10=24

• n=cost of 1 pencil; 7n-10=24

• n=cost of 1 pencil; 7n+10=24

• n=cost of 1 pencil; -7n-10=24

x / 2  - 5 = 3

• x = -2

• x = 2

• x = 16

• x = 8

A van rental company charges $50 per day, plus $0.12 a mile to rent a van. Which equation can be used to determine how many miles were driven if the total charge for a one day rental was $73.52?

• 50x + 0.12 = 73.52

• -50x + 0.12 = 73.52

• 0.12x + 50 = 73.52

• -0.12x + 50 = 73.52

• None of these
