Mario is x years old. In 7 years, he will be 19. Which equation can be used to determine Mario’s present age?(1 point)

Responses

x − 19 = 7
x minus 19 equals 7

x + 19 = 7
x plus 19 equals 7

x + 7 = 19
x plus 7 equals 19

x − 7 = 19

To determine Mario's present age, we know that in 7 years he will be 19 years old. We can set up the equation based on this information.

The correct equation is:

x + 7 = 19

This represents that if you add 7 years to Mario's current age (x), he will be 19 years old.

Maria has to spend  5 1/2  hours to finish her community service program in a community health clinic. Last week, she was able to spend  3 3/4  hours. Which equation can be used to determine the number of hours, h , that Maria still needs to spend to complete her service program?

To determine how many hours Maria still needs to spend to complete her community service program, we can set up an equation based on the total hours required and the hours she has already completed.

Maria needs to complete a total of \(5 \frac{1}{2}\) hours, and she has already spent \(3 \frac{3}{4}\) hours. The equation to find the remaining hours \(h\) that she needs to spend can be set up as follows:

\[ h = 5 \frac{1}{2} - 3 \frac{3}{4} \]

To express this in a standard linear equation format:

\[ h + 3 \frac{3}{4} = 5 \frac{1}{2} \]

Thus, the equation that can be used to determine the number of hours \(h\) that Maria still needs to spend is:

\[ h + 3 \frac{3}{4} = 5 \frac{1}{2} \]

You have p dollars in your piggy bank. You spent $13.32 to buy a toy, leaving you with $25.70. Which equation should be used to determine the amount of money you had in your piggy bank before buying the toy? How much money was in the piggy bank?(1 point)
Responses

p − 25.70 = 13.32; there was $12.38 in the piggy bank.
p minus 25.70 equals 13.32 ; there was $12.38 in the piggy bank.

p + 25.70 = 13.32; there was –$12.38 in the piggy bank.
p plus 25.70 equals 13.32 ; there was –$12.38 in the piggy bank.

p + 13.32 = 25.70; there was $12.38 in the piggy bank.
p plus 13.32 equals 25.70 ; there was $12.38 in the piggy bank.

p − 13.32 = 25.70; ; there was $39.02 in the piggy bank.

To determine the amount of money you had in your piggy bank before buying the toy, we know that you spent $13.32 and were left with $25.70. This leads to the equation:

\[ p - 13.32 = 25.70 \]

This means that the total amount of money \(p\) you had originally minus the amount spent ($13.32) equals the amount you have left ($25.70).

To solve for \(p\):

\[ p = 25.70 + 13.32 \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ p = 39.02 \]

So the correct equation is:

p − 13.32 = 25.70; there was $39.02 in the piggy bank.

Krista and Alexa played balloon darts in a school fair. Krista popped 5 balloons and Alexa popped n balloons. Together, they popped a total of 13 balloons. Which equation can be used to determine the number of balloons Alexa popped? How many balloons did she pop?(1 point)
Responses

n + 5 = 13; Alexa popped 8 balloons.
n plus 5 equals 13 ; Alexa popped 8 balloons.

n − 5 = 13; Alexa popped 18 balloons.
n minus 5 equals 13 ; Alexa popped 18 balloons.

n − 13 = 5; Alexa popped 18 balloons.
n minus 13 equals 5 ; Alexa popped 18 balloons.

n + 13 = 5; Alexa popped 8 balloons.

To determine how many balloons Alexa popped, we know that Krista popped 5 balloons and together they popped a total of 13 balloons. We can set up the equation as follows:

\[ n + 5 = 13 \]

This equation states that the number of balloons Alexa popped (n) plus the number of balloons Krista popped (5) equals the total number of balloons popped (13).

To find out how many balloons Alexa popped, we can solve for \(n\):

\[ n = 13 - 5 \] \[ n = 8 \]

So, the correct equation is:

n + 5 = 13; Alexa popped 8 balloons.

Due to excessive heat, the water level in a dam decreased by 8.8 meters last month. Now, the water level is 95.3 meters. Which equation represents the water level, w , of the dam last month? What was the water level last month?(1 point)
Responses

w + 8.8 = 95.3; the water level of the dam last month was 86.5 meters.
w plus 8.8 equals 95.3 ; the water level of the dam last month was 86.5 meters.

w − 8.8 = 95.3; the water level of the dam last month was 104.1 meters.
w minus 8.8 equals 95.3 ; the water level of the dam last month was 104.1 meters.

w − 95.3 = 8.8; the water level of the dam last month was 86.5 meters.
w minus 95.3 equals 8.8 ; the water level of the dam last month was 86.5 meters.

w + 95.3 = 8.8; the water level of the dam last month was 104.1 meters.

To determine the water level of the dam last month, we can set up the equation based on the given information. If the water level decreased by 8.8 meters last month and is now at 95.3 meters, we can express the relationship as:

\[ w - 8.8 = 95.3 \]

Where \(w\) represents the water level last month.

To find out what the water level was last month, we can solve for \(w\):

\[ w = 95.3 + 8.8 \] \[ w = 104.1 \]

So, the correct equation is:

w − 8.8 = 95.3; the water level of the dam last month was 104.1 meters.
