In this hanger, the weight of the triangle is x and the weight of the square is y.
Question 1
1.

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

Question 2
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
3.

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

Question 4
4.

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

Question 5
5.

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

Question 8

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