Part A: Write a short word problem about a purchase made to illustrate the equation. (6 points)

Part B: Solve the equation showing all work. (4 points)

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer: x=9

Answer 2

Part A: You are buying candy bars online. They cost $6 each and there is an $18 shipping fee. You have $72 to spend. How many candy bars can you get?

Part B: x=9

Explanation:

6x + 18= 72

You want to get x alone:

Subtract 18 from both sides

Rewrite:

6x= 72-18

Now, subtract 72-18

Rewrite:

6x= 54

Divide 6 from both sides

So, that would be 54/6

Answer: x=9
