Writing Algebraic Equations

Use the word problem to set up a two-step equation. Use the model below to help organize it. Every two-step equation will have three parts:

What will have the total? o Where do you start (constant) o What will you add on (variable term)

Bob started a bank account, b, with $35. Every week, w, he will add $5. How much money will he have after 6 weeks? b = 35 + 5w _________ __________ __________

1. Carlos has a collection, c, of baseball cards. He already had 40 before he received an offer to get 5 each month, m, if he signed up for a magazine. How many cards will he have after 3 months?

Review: Two-Step Equations

Solve for the variable by performing a two-step equation. Be careful using division on big numbers and multiplication with fractions (using the reciprocal). 1.
1 x + 3 = 12 2

2.

3 x8=7 5

3. 2x + 9 = 19

4. 7x 9 = 40

[7]

3.2 Evaluating Expressions

5.

1 x+2=4 3

6.

4 x3=1 9

Partner Practice: Two-Steps

Solve for the variable by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal 1.
1 x+4=9 3 2 x8=2 3

2.

3.

6x + 7 = 25

4.

3x 4 = 2

5.

5 x+1=4 8

6.

3 x2=7 5

Partner Practice: Evaluating Expressions

Solve for the variable by multiplying both sides by the reciprocal Let x = 5 and y = 2

3.2 Evaluating Expressions

1. 2x + 6y 2. 4xy

3. (x 3)(x + 1)

4. x2 7y

5. xy

1. Ron started a savings account, s, with $40. He will add $3 every week, w. How much money will he have after 5 weeks?
a. s = 40 + 3w b. s = 40 3w c. s = 3 + 40w d. s = 3 40w

2. Greg has a collection, c, of baseball cards. He already had 100 before he received an offer to get 5 each month, m, if he signed up for a magazine. How many cards will he have after 3 months?
a. c = 5 + 100m b. c = 100 5m c. c = 100 + 5m d. c = 5 100m

3. An electrician charges $75 an hour plus an initial $25 service fee. Write an expression for the total cost, c, of hiring the plumber for h hours. What will it cost for 2 hours of services?
a. c = 25h + 75 b. c = 75 25h c. c = 75h 25 d. c = 25 + 75h

4. A teacher starts the year with 15 sick days, d. Every month, m, a teacher receives 1 additional sick day1. After working an entire school year of 10 months without getting sick, how many days will be saved up?
a. d = 15 m b. d = 15 + m c. d = 1 + 15m d. d = 1 15m

1. Carmen has a checking account, a, with $250. Because of a bad shopping habit, she will spend $50 every week, w. If she never puts any more money in the account, how long will it take to spend all of the money?
a. a = 250 + 50w b. a = 250 50w c. a = 50 + 250w d. a = 50 250w

2. Jorge has a bag of Oreos, o, which still being unopened, has 75 cookies in it. He is dieting, and so limits himself to 5 cookies a day. At this rate, how long will it take him until he has only 20 Oreos left?
a. o = 75d + 5 b. o = 75 5d c. o = 75 + 5d d. o = 5 75d

3. The Arizona State Lotto has a pool, p, of $500 to give away in cash prizes. It expects to dole out an estimated $25 per hour, h, until all of the money is paid to winners. How long will it take to distribute $100?
a. p = 500h + 25 b. p = 500 25h c. p = 500h 25 d. p = 500 + 25h

4. A plane is flying at an altitude, a, of 30,000 feet when it begins its descent into the airport. Because of the steep traffic pattern, air traffic control orders it to descend at 1,500 feet per minute. What will be the planes altitude after 4 minutes of descending?
a. d = 1,500 30,000m b. d = 1,500 + 30,000m c. d = 30,000 + 1,500m d. d = 30,000 1,500m
