Here are three stories:

• A family buys 6 tickets to a show. They also pay a $3 parking fee. They spend $27 to see the
show.
• Diego has 27 ounces of juice. He pours equal amounts for each of his 3 friends and has 6
ounces left for himself.
• Jada works for 6 hours preparing for the art fair. She spends 3 hours on a sculpture and
then paints 27 picture frames.
Here are three equations:
• 3x + 6 = 27
• 6x +3=27
• 27x + 3 = 6
a. Decide which equation represents each story. What does x represent in each equation?
b. Find the solution to each equation. Explain or show your reasoning,
c. What does each solution tell you about its situation?

Answer:

1)

a) 6x+3 = 27

b) x=4

c) We know that x is price of each ticket, so The price of each ticket is $4. They bought 6 tickets, so total cost of ticket = 24 and $3 for parking so, total money spent = $27.

2)

a) 3x + 6 = 27

b) x= 7

c) We know that x is amount of juice poured, so 3 friends of Diego will get 7 ounces of Juice, while Diego will get 6 ounces of juice.

3)

a) 27x + 3 = 6

b) x= 1/9

c) We know that x is time spend on each picture, so Jada spend 1/9 hour on each picture

Explanation:

1. A family buys 6 tickets to a show. They also pay a $3 parking fee. They spend $27 to see the show.

a) Decide which equation represents each story. What does x represent in each equation?

Let x be price of one ticket.

The equation will be: 6x+3 = 27

b. Find the solution to each equation. Explain or show your reasoning,

Now solving the equation:

6x+3=27

6x=27-3

6x=24

x=24/6

x=4

So, we get x = 4

c. What does each solution tell you about its situation?

We know that x is price of each ticket, so The price of each ticket is $4. They bought 6 tickets, so total cost of ticket = 24 and $3 for parking so, total money spent = $27.

2. Diego has 27 ounces of juice. He pours equal amounts for each of his 3 friends and has 6 ounces left for himself.

a) Decide which equation represents each story. What does x represent in each equation?

Let x be amount of juice poured.

The equation will be: 3x+6 = 27

b. Find the solution to each equation. Explain or show your reasoning,

Now solving the equation:

3x+6=27

3x=27-6

3x=21

x=21/3

x=7

So, we get x = 7

c. What does each solution tell you about its situation?

We know that x is amount of juice poured, so 3 friends of Diego will get 7 ounces of Juice, while Diego will get 6 ounces of juice.

3. Diego has 27 ounces of juice. He pours equal amounts for each of his 3 friends and has 6 ounces left for himself.

a) Jada works for 6 hours preparing for the art fair. She spends 3 hours on a sculpture and then paints 27 picture frames.

Let x be time spend on each picture frame.

The equation will be: 27x+3=6

b. Find the solution to each equation. Explain or show your reasoning,

Now solving the equation:

27x+3=6

27x=6-3

27x=3

x=3/27

x=1/9

So, we get x = 1/9

c. What does each solution tell you about its situation?

We know that x is time spend on each picture, so Jada spend 1/9 hour on each picture
