Sure! Let's go through each question step by step.
Question 1: Translate "twice a number plus 7, is 23" into an equation:
- Let the number be \( x \).
- The equation becomes: \( 2x + 7 = 23 \).
Now, solve for \( x \):
- Subtract 7 from both sides: \( 2x = 16 \).
- Divide both sides by 2: \( x = 8 \).
Correct response: The number is 8.
Question 2: Translate "Five less than the product of a number and -2 is -13":
- Let the number be \( x \).
- The equation becomes: \( -2x - 5 = -13 \).
Now, solve for \( x \):
- Add 5 to both sides: \( -2x = -8 \).
- Divide both sides by -2: \( x = 4 \).
Correct response: The number is 4.
Question 3: Translate "Half a number plus 9, is -7":
- Let the number be \( x \).
- The equation becomes: \( \frac{1}{2}x + 9 = -7 \).
Now, solve for \( x \):
- Subtract 9 from both sides: \( \frac{1}{2}x = -16 \).
- Multiply both sides by 2: \( x = -32 \).
Correct response: The number is -32.
Question 4: Consider the equation \( 12(x - 3) + 18 = ? \).
Let's simplify the left side:
- Distributing gives \( 12x - 36 + 18 = 12x - 18 \).
Now we need to match this with the provided expressions:
-
For 6(2x - 3):
- This simplifies to \( 12x - 18 \) (one solution).
-
For 4(3x - 3):
- This simplifies to \( 12x - 12\) (one solution).
-
For 4(2x - 3):
- This simplifies to \( 8x - 12 \) (no solution with 12(x-3) + 18).
Correct Responses:
- \( 6(2x-3) \): One Solution
- \( 4(3x-3) \): One Solution
- \( 4(2x-3) \): No Solution
Question 5: Calculate the cost for 18 students at both orchards:
-
Orchard A:
- Cost per person: $9.
- Cost for students: \( 18 \times 9 = 162 \).
- Chaperones: 3 (so 3 x $9 = $27).
- Total = \( 162 + 27 = 189 \).
-
Orchard B:
- Cost per person: $10.
- Cost for students: \( 18 \times 10 = 180 \).
- Chaperones: 1 (so 1 x $10 = $10).
- Total = \( 180 + 10 = 190 \).
Correct response: Orchard A.
Question 6: Now calculate for 12 students:
-
Orchard A:
- Cost for students: \( 12 \times 9 = 108 \).
- Chaperones: 3 (3 x $9 = $27).
- Total = \( 108 + 27 = 135 \).
-
Orchard B:
- Cost for students: \( 12 \times 10 = 120 \).
- Chaperones: 1 (1 x $10 = $10).
- Total = \( 120 + 10 = 130 \).
Correct response: Orchard B.
Question 7: Now for 17 students:
-
Orchard A:
- Cost for students: \( 17 \times 9 = 153 \).
- Chaperones: 3 (3 x $9 = $27).
- Total = \( 153 + 27 = 180 \).
-
Orchard B:
- Cost for students: \( 17 \times 10 = 170 \).
- Chaperones: 1 (1 x $10 = $10).
- Total = \( 170 + 10 = 180 \).
Correct response: They cost the same.
Question 8: Create an equation:
- Wages per firefighter: $40,000.
- Benefits per firefighter: $20,000.
- Total expenditure: $600,000.
Let \( x \) be the number of firefighters: \[ 40,000x + 20,000x = 600,000 \] Combine: \[ 60,000x = 600,000. \]
Correct response: 60,000x = 600,000.
