Translating One and Two Step Equations

Choose the equation that represents this sentence:

4 less than -6 multiplied by a number n is 60.

• 4 - 6n = 60

• -6n - 4 = 60

• 60 - 4 = -6n

• -6n + 4 = 60

Choose the equation that represents this sentence: Each game g costs $60, and you spend a total of $240.

• 60g = 240

• g + 60 = 240
