Carol’s class had 25 students on roll. After some new students join her class, the number of students increases to 36. Write an equation to determine the number of students who joined Carol's class.

• 25 + x = 36

• x – 36 = 25

• 36x = 25

• 36 + x = –25

Which choice models this situation? Marcus needs to sell 25 tickets to a fundraiser by Friday. So far, he has sold 9 tickets. How many tickets does he still need to sell?

Which choice models this situation? Lisa finished a race in 58 seconds. This was 4 seconds faster than her best practice time. What was Lindsey's best practice time?

• t + 4 = 58

• t - 4 = 58

• 4t = 58

• t/4 = 58

x+5 = 15

• 20

• 10

• 3

• 25

Solve for x
17 = x + 3

• x = 20

• x = 14

• x = 13

• x = 19

Tyrell has saved $62 to buy a new phone. How many more dollars must Tyrell save if the cost of the phone is $89? Let d be the number of dollars Tyrell must still save?

• 62 + d = 89

• 62d = 89

• d ÷ 89 = 62

• d - 62 = 89

q - 12  =  1

• q = 13

• q = 11

• q = -11

• q = -13

x + 12 = 20

• x = 32

• x = -32

• x = 8

• x = -8

Solve for y:

y + 51 = -99
