In the expression 2x +3, the variable is:
x
Which expression is modeled by the picture?
2x+4
Which value of x will keep the scale balanced?
3
Add 21 to both sides
What is the solution to
x/3 = -4?
x = -12
The numerical coefficient in the expression 5y-4 is:
5
Model 4x-3 using cups and counters
How many counters do we put in the cup to make the equation true?
8
The first step in solving 4x + 5 = 21 would be subtracting 5 from both sides. What is the second step?
Divide both sides by 4
Solve 4k - 4 = 16
k = 5
What is the constant term in this expression:
7r-6
-6
Which equation is represented by the algebra tiles?
2x - 3 = 5
Is x=5 a solution to the equation 37 - x = 42?
No! x = -5 is the solution
37 - (-5)
=37 + (+5)
=42
What is the solution to the equation represented by the model below?
x = 3
Solve 4 + 9r = 31
r = 3
A mathematical statement with two expressions that have the same value is called a/an
Equation
Which equation is represented by the tiles?
3x +2 = 11
r = 24
What is the solution to
3r - 7 = 20?
r = 9
Solve x/3 - 2 = 5
x = 21
An operation that undoes another operation is called a/an:
Opposite Operation
What is the value of 'd' in the equation above?
d = 7
What is the solution to the equation x/7 = 2?
x = 14
Is x = 6 a solution to the equation
8x + 8 = 25?
No! Replace x with 6 to get:
8(6) + 8
=48 + 8
=56
Dean is 5 years less than twice Terry's age. If Terry is 22, how old is Dean? Write an equation and solve.
Use 'd' to represent Dean and 't' for Terry
d = 2t - 5
d = 2(22) - 5
d = 44 - 5
d = 39
