Creating One Step Equations

Speedy Boat Rental charges a $15 deposit fee plus $2 for each hour of use to rent a paddle boat.  Write an equation to find out how many hours, h, they rented the Boat if the total cost was $33.

• h = 2(9) + 15

• 33 = 15h + 2

• h = 15(9) + 2

• 33 = 2h + 15

Casey has $50 to spend at Best Buy. She wants to buy a DVD for $14 and some CDs that cost $12 each. How many CDs can she buy?

• 12 + 14x = 50

• 12x + 14 = 50

• 50 - 14 - 12 = x

• 50x + 12 = 14

Mr Carrillo's family bought lunch from Culvers. They also bought some sodas from Quick Trip for $5.00. The meals cost $6.00 each. The total cost of the lunch and soda was $41.00. Let x represent the cost of the number of meals that Mr. Carrillo bought. Write the equation and solve for x.

• -5+6x = 41, 4 meals

• 6x + 5 = 41, 6 meals

• 6x = 36 meals

• 5 + 6x = 41, 7 meals
