Sabrin had some colorful pens. Then she lost 12 and now she has 38.
Write an equation to represent her situation.
x - 12 = 38
6(x+3)=48
x=5
the sum of 92 and a number is 104
92 + x = 104
x+13=20

Nura rented an orange helicopter. It costs $200 per hour plus $50 for gas. Her total cost was $650.
What equation can be used to represent this situation?
200x + 50 = 650
3x - 5x - 7 = -11
x = 2
8 less than x is the same as 31
x - 8 = 32
-6 = x - (-3)
x = -9
8x+10=-6
x=-2
Mr. W. gave a bag of Jolly Ranchers to a group of 3 students. The students decided to share the Jolly Ranchers equally. Each student received 13 Jolly Ranchers. How many Jolly Ranchers were in the bag? Write an equation to represent the situation. Choose your own variable.
x/3 = 13
-75 = 6(x - 10) + 9

The current temperature is 73°F. It is expected to drop 3.5°F each hour. Write an equation that can be used to find the number of hours it will take for the temperature to reach 59°F.
Double your points if you solve it!
73 - 3.5x = 59
x = 4 hours
0.5(-8+x)=34

Abdi rides his bike the same distance to and from school each day. He also rides 3.6 miles round trip each day to go to soccer practice. During a 5-day school week, he rides a total of 43 miles.
5(x+3.6)=43
172 - 2(a - 5) = 5(4a + 6) + 2 + 8a
a = 5
7 is 13 fewer than the product of 8 and a number.
7 = 8x - 13
