5
Model and solve 2x-3=5 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

-6
Which equation is represented by the algebra tiles? (red is positive)
2x + 6 = 24
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
Jeremy collects hockey cards and baseball cards. The number of hockey cards he has is 21 more than twice the number of baseball cards. Jermey has has 75 hockey cards.
a) Write an equation to represent this situation.
b) How many baseball cards does he have?
a) 2b + 21 = 75
b) b = 27. He has 27 baseball cards
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?
a) Write an equation
b) solve.
d = 2t - 5
Use 'd' to represent Dean and 't' for Terry
d = 2t - 5
d = 2(22) - 5
d = 44 - 5
d = 39
