Basic
4 times j is 40
4j = 40
Jim has $50 after his birthday. If Jim received $20 for his birthday, how much money did he have before?
M+20 = 50
4 is the same as n divided by 3
Write the equation and solve
4 = n/3
n = 12
x + 1.5 = 4.2
n less than 20 is 8
20 - n = 8
Mike bought 4 pops for a total of $6.25. How much did each pop cost?
4p = 6.25
Jim is 8 inches taller than Sara. If Jim is 54 inches tall, how tall is Sara?
Write the equation and solve
S+8 = 54
S = 46, Sara is 46" tall
x - 0.89 = 21.45
x = 22.34
17 is the same as the quotient of n and 3
17 = n/3
Jim split his winning prize 4 ways. Each person got $20. How much did Jim win?
W/4 = 20
Jeff bought 5 video games for $92.50. How much did each video game cost?
Write the equation and solve
5G = 92.50
G=18.50, each game is $18.50
x/3 = 6.8
x = 20.4
3 more than the product of 2 and n is 45
3 + 2n = 45
2n + 3 = 45
Jim spent 12.40 on lunch. He has $7.60 left. How much money did Jim have to start with?
M - 12.40 = 7.60
Sara has $12.75. This is only enough to cover 1/4 of the cost of the new shoes she wants. How much do the shoes cost?
x * 1/4 = 12.75
x = 51
The shoes cost $51
5x = 9.8
x = 1.96
Double the sum of n and 5 is equal to 40
2(n+5) = 40
x + 3 3/4 = 5 1/2
x + 3 3/4 = 5 1/2
- 3 3/4 -3 3/4
x = 1 3/4
