Braydon is studying art at the local community college. He wants to take a stained glass art class that will count as 2 credits toward his degree. The college charges d dollars for each credit and a one-time fee of $200.00 for supplies. Braydon determines that $440.60 will be the total cost of the class. Write an equation he can use to find d, the amount the college charges per credit.
2d + 200 = 440.60

Aya is saving to buy an electronic tablet that costs $380 including tax. She has saved $150. She plans to earn the rest of the money she needs by mowing lawns. She will charge $12 for each lawn she mows. Let x represent the number of lawns she will need to mow in order to purchase the tablet. Write an equation to represent this situation.
380 = 12x + 150
2/3x + 15 = -47

The relationship between degrees Fahrenheit (F) and degrees Celsius (C) is given by the equation 5(F - 32) = 9C. What temperature is the same for both temperature scales? In other words, what is the solution to the equation 5(F - 32) = 9F?
f = -40

Mr. Mauriello was challenged to solve an 8th grade equation. His solution was x = 0. He said that because x = 0, the equation has no solution. Explain whether he is correct.
He is not! This equation has one solution. An equation with no solution has two different constants set "equal" to each other (9=8)
