Equations One Step Real World

Solve the equation
3x = 27. 

• x = 24

• x = 81

• x = 9

• x = 3

x ÷ 2 = 12

• x = 24

• x = 6

• x = 20

• x = 10

how would you solve this equation: 9x=153?

• multiply by 9 on both sides

• divide by 9 on both sides

• add 9 to both sides

• subtract 9 from both sides

m - 5 = -10

• -15

• 15

• -5

• 5

Solve for the missing variable:

• m = 5

• m = 1/5

• m = 25

• m = 55

5m = 10  solve for m

• 50

• 15

• 5

• 2

Which choice models this situation?
Taylor has read 125 pages in a book. The book has a total of 262 pages. How many pages does she have left to read to finish the book?

• p - 125 = 262

• p + 125 = 262

• 125p = 262

• p/125 = 262

Which choice models this situation? Last week, Tina worked 35 hours in 5 days. She worked the same number of hours each day. How many hours did she work each day?

• h - 5 = 35

• h + 5 = 35

• 5h = 35

• h/5 = 35

Which choice models this situation? Anna participated in a read-a-thon. Mr. Cole pledged $4 per book and gave Anna $44. How many books did Anna read?

• b - 4 = 44

• b + 4 = 33

• 4b = 44

• b/4 = 44

Karina played two softball games last week.  She had a total of 9 hits.  She had 4 hits in the first game.  Write an equation to determine how many hits she got in the second game.

• 9 - 4 = h

• h + 4 = 9

• 4h = 9

• h + 9 = 4
