8 questions

In this hanger, the weight of the triangle is x and the weight of the square is y.

Question 1

Write an equation using x and y to represent the hanger.

Question 2

If x is 6, what is y?

Andre and Diego were each trying to solve 2x + 6 = 3x - 8. Describe the first step they each make to the equation.

Question 3

The result of Andre’s first step was -x + 6 = -8

Question 4

The result of Diego’s first step was 6 = x - 8

Question 5

Complete the table with values for x or y that make this equation true: 3x + y = 15.

Question 6

For the above problem, create a graph, plot these points, and find the slope of the line that goes through them.

Question 7

Match each set of equations with the move that turned the first equation into the second.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
8 - 10x = 7 + 5x to 4 - 10x = 3 + 5x		Add -4x to both sides
6x + 9 = 4x -3 to 2x+9 = -3		Multiply both sides by -1/4
12x + 4 = 20x + 24 to 3x + 1 = 5x + 6		Add -4 to both sides
-4(5x - 7) = -18 to 5x - 7 = 4.5		Multiply both sides by -4
-5x/4 = 4 to 5x = -16		Multiply both sides by 1/4

Question 8

Select all the situations for which only zero or positive solutions make sense.

Measuring temperature in degrees Celsius at an Arctic outpost each day in January.

The height of a candle as it burns over an hour.

The elevation above sea level of a hiker descending into a canyon.

The number of students remaining in school after 6:00 p.m.

A bank account balance over a year.

The temperature in degrees Fahrenheit of an oven used on a hot summer day.
