Describe what the mistake is in the following equation:

6(y + 8) = 6y + 8

Did not distribute the 6 to the second term.

A large coffee costs $3.50 and a medium costs $2. Adding anything else costs a one time fee of $1.50.

Define variables for this situation.

L = large coffee

M = medium coffee

C = total cost

Identify the mistake the student made in solving this problem:

The student forgot to keep the negative sign in front of the 5c.

A large coffee costs $3.50 and a medium costs $2. Adding anything else costs a one time fee of $1.50.

Evaluate the expression if your group wants to buy 4 large coffees and 3 medium coffees.

3.50(4) + 2(3) + 1.50 = 14+6+1.5 =

$21.50

-16x+10

400

Correctly solve the problem below:

c = 9

400

Shannon works for a shoe store where shoes cost $32 per pair and boots cost $45. She earns a commission of 15% of the price for each pair of shoes and each pair of boots she sells.

Write an expression to show how much commission she earns in a day.

c = commission
s = shoes
b = boots

0.15(32s + 45b) or 4.8s + 6.75

What is the value of

4n(n/2)

when n = -8? 



What is 128?

500

Simplify and Combine like terms using the distributive property:

5(3x-2)+14

15x+4

500

Use substitution to determine if the expressions are equivalent:

3x^2-12

3(x^2+4)

NOT Equivalent

500

Identify the mistake and correctly solve the problem below:

The negative 4 should have been positive because a 

- * - = +

SO, -2x = 10, then x = -5

500

Shannon works for a shoe store where shoes cost $32 per pair and boots cost $45. She earns a commission of 15% of the price for each pair of shoes and each pair of boots she sells.

Evaluate your expression if she sells 4 pair of shoes and 2 pair of boots.

0.15(32*4 + 45*2) = 0.15(128 + 90)

0.15(128 + 90) = 0.15(218) = 32.7

=$32.70
