Solve for x:

9m - 4 = -3m + 5 + 12m
What is NO SOLUTION
-4 = 5

WORK
9m - 4 = -3m + 5 + 12m
9m - 4 = -3m + 12m + 5
9m -9m - 4 = 9m -9m + 5
-4 = 5 <~~~NO! So, No Solution!

Two buildings have the same total height. One building has 8 floors with height, h. The other building has a ground floor of 16ft and 6 other floors with height, h. Write and solve an equation to find the height, h, of these floors.
What is 8h = 16 + 6h h = 8

Solve for p:

1.5p = 1.25p + 8
What is p = 32

WORK
1.5p = 1.25p + 8
1.5p - 1.25p = 1.25p - 1/25p + 8
0.25p/0.25 = 8/0.25
p = 32

Online concert tickets cost $37 each, plus a service charge of $8.50 per ticket. The Web site also charges a transaction fee of $14.99 for the purchase. You paid $242.49. How many tickets did you buy?
What is You bought 5 tickets. WORK 37t + 8.50t + 14.99 = 242.49 45.5t + 14.99 = 242.49 45.5t + 14.99 - 14.99 = 242.49 - 14.99 45.5t = 227.5 45.5t/45.5 = 227.5/45.5 t = 5 ~~~> 5 tickets

Solve for x:

2(5x - 1) = 3(x + 11)
What is x = 5

WORK
2(5x - 1) = 3(x + 11)
10x - 2 = 3x + 33 [Distribute]
10x - 3x - 2 = 3x - 3x + 33
7x - 2 + 2 = 33 + 2
7x/7 = 35/7
x = 5

Pristine Printing will print business cards for $0.10 each plus a setup charge of $15. The Printing Place offers business cards for $0.15 each with a setup charge of $10. What number of business cards costs the same from either printer? BONUS: What would the cost be?
What is Printing 100 cards would cost the same from either business.

WORK
0.10n + 15 = 0.15n + 10
0.10n - 0.10n + 15 = 0.15n - 0.10n +10
15 = 0.05n + 10
15 - 10 = 0.05n + 10 - 10
5 = 0.05n
5/0.05 = 0.05n/0.05
100 = n ~~~>100 cards

BONUS answer: It would cost $25.00 to make 100 cards from either place.

WORK
0.10n + 15 = ??
0.10(100) + 15 = 25 ~~~>$25.00

0.15n + 10 = ??
0.15(100) + 10 = 25 ~~~>$25.00
