g - 5 = 3
g = 8
Joe went to the arcade. He played one game winning 20 points. He then played a basketball game where each basket scored was worth 2 points. If he left the arcade with 34 points total, how many baskets did he score in the second game?
20 + 2b = 34
b = 7
x/6 + 3 = 5
x = 12

10b - 37 = 13
b = 5
the product of a number f and 10 is forty
10f = 40
the product of a number k and 6 decreased by 5 is 13
6k - 5 = 13
k = 3
A Netflix membership for one year costs $100 total. It is $28 up front and the rest is paid monthly. There are 12 months in one year.
Write the equation and solve.
28 + 12m = 100
m = $6
h/8 - (-3) = 6
h = 24
the quotient of a number w and 6, decreased by 5
w/6 - 5
the quotient of a number s and 7, decreased by 3 equals 1
s/7 - 3 = 1
s = 28
Juan went apple picking and bought a bag for $10. He had to pay $0.50 per apple picked. After picking a number a of apples, his total came out to $13.50.
Write and solve the equation.

2/3r + 5 = 9
r = 6
a number x decreased by 11, divided by 3 is equal to 5
x-11/(3) = 5
a number x subtracted from 24 is 8
24 - x = 8
x = 18
