Solve for m:

5 = 5m - 23 + 2m

m =4

WORK
5 = 5m - 23 + 2m
5 = 5m + 2m - 23
5 = 7m - 23
5 + 23 = 7m - 23 + 23
28 = 7m
28/7 = 7m/7
4 = m

Solve for x:

(x + 4) + 2x = 67

x = 21

WORK
(x + 4) + 2x = 67
x + 2x + 4 = 67 [addition is commutative]
3x + 4 = 67
3x + 4 - 4= 67 - 4
3x = 63
3x/3 = 63/3
x = 21

Solve for x:

-8(2x - 1) = 36

x = -7/4

WORK
-8(2x - 1) = 36
-16x + 8 = 36 [Distributive Property]
-16x + 8 - 8 = 36 - 8
-16x = 28
-16x/(-16) = 28/(-16)
x = -7/4

Solve for x:

3.5 - 0.02x = 1.24

x = 113

WORK
3.5 - 0.02x = 1.24
100*(3.5 - 0.02x) = 1.24*100
350 - 2x = 124 [Distributive Property]
350 - 350 - 2x = 124 - 350
-2x/(-2) = -226/(-2)
x = 113

500

Solve for x:

3x/4 - x/3 = 10

[remember what fractions really look like?]

x = 24

WORK
3x/4 - x/3 = 10
9x/12 - 4x/12 = 10 [write fractions/common denominator]
5x/12 = 10
12*(5x/12) = 10*12
5x/5 = 120/5
x = 24

Solve:

Five friends equally split a restaurant bill that comes to $32.50. How much does each friend pay?

Each friend pays $6.50.

WORK
5x = 32.50
5x/5 = 32.50/5
x = 6.5 ~~~> $6.50

You work for 4 hours on Saturday and 8 hours on Sunday. You receive a $50 bonus. You earn $164.00 total. How much did you earn per hour?

You earned $9.50 per hour.

WORK
4x + 8x + 50 = 164
12x + 50 = 164
12x + 50 - 50 = 164 - 50
12x = 114
12x/12 = 114/12
x = 9.5 ~~~> $9.50

Solve:

Two buildings have the same total height. One building has 8 floors with height, h. The other building has a ground floor of 16ft and 6 other floors with height, h. Write and solve an equation to find the height, h, of these floors.

8h = 16 + 6h
h = 8

WORK
8h = 16 + 6h
8h - 6h = 16 + 6h - 6h
2h = 16
2h/2 = 16/2
h = 8

Online concert tickets cost $37 each, plus a service charge of $8.50 per ticket. The Web site also charges a transaction fee of $14.99 for the purchase. You paid $242.49. How many tickets did you buy?

You bought 5 tickets.

WORK
37t + 8.50t + 14.99 = 242.49
45.5t + 14.99 = 242.49
45.5t + 14.99 - 14.99 = 242.49 - 14.99
45.5t = 227.5
45.5t/45.5 = 227.5/45.5
t = 5 ~~~> 5 tickets

Pristine Printing will print business cards for $0.10 each plus a setup charge of $15. The Printing Place offers business cards for $0.15 each with a setup charge of $10. What number of business cards costs the same from either printer? BONUS: What would the cost be?

Printing 100 cards would cost the same from either business.

WORK
0.10n + 15 = 0.15n + 10
0.10n - 0.10n + 15 = 0.15n - 0.10n +10
15 = 0.05n + 10
15 - 10 = 0.05n + 10 - 10
5 = 0.05n
5/0.05 = 0.05n/0.05
100 = n ~~~>100 cards

BONUS answer: It would cost $25.00 to make 100 cards from either place.

WORK
0.10n + 15 = ??
0.10(100) + 15 = 25 ~~~>$25.00

0.15n + 10 = ??
0.15(100) + 10 = 25 ~~~>$25.00
