  • Question 1
    60 seconds
    Q. Five less than twice a number is equivalent to 47. 
    answer choices
    5 - 2x = 47 
    2x - 5 = 47 
    5x - 2 = 47 
    2 - 5x = 47 
  • Question 2
    60 seconds
    Q. 10 less that half a number is equivalent to 8.  
    answer choices
    10 - 1⁄2x = 8 
    1⁄2x + 10 = 8
    1⁄2x - 10 = 8
    10x - 0.5 = 8
  • Question 3
    60 seconds
    Q. Justin is purchasing a new iPhone.  The sales clerk says that if he pays $100 now his monthly payments will be $25 and his total cost will be $600.  Which equation can be used to determine how many months Justin will be paying for his phone? 
    answer choices
    25x + 100 = 600
    25x - 100 = 600 
    600 - 100x = 25
    600 + 25x = 100 
  • Question 4
    60 seconds
    Q. A gymnastics center charges a $60 registration fee and $15 per class. Olivia registers to take a class and pays a total of $210. Which equation can be used to determine how many classes Olivia signed up for?  
    answer choices
    60 - 15x = 210 
    15x - 60 = 210
    15x + 60 = 210 
    210 + 15x = 60 
  • Question 5
    30 seconds
    Q. Three times the sum of a number and 7 is equivalent to 57. 
    answer choices
    3x + 7 = 57 
    3(x + 7) = 57
    7x + 3 = 57 
    7(x + 3) = 57
  • Question 6
    60 seconds
    Q. One - third of the sum of a number and 24 is equivalent to 10.  
    answer choices
    1⁄3(x + 24) = 10 
    1⁄3x + 24 = 10 
    1⁄3(x - 24) = 10 
    1⁄3x + 10 = 24 
  • Question 7
    60 seconds
    Q. Twice the difference of a number and 16 is equivalent to 28. 
    answer choices
    2x + 16 = 28
    2x - 16 = 28 
    2(x + 16) = 28 
    2(x - 16) = 28
  • Question 8
    60 seconds
    Q. Three-halves the difference of a number of 22 is equivalent to 45.  
    answer choices
    3⁄2(x + 22) = 45
    3⁄2x - 22 = 45
    3⁄2(x - 22) = 45
    3⁄2x + 22 = 45
  • Question 9

    Q. A rectangle has a perimeter of 70 feet. Its length is five more than twice its width. Which equation can be used to determine the width of the rectangle? 
    answer choices
    2x + 5 = 70 
    3x + 5 = 70 
    6x + 10 = 70 
    5x + 2 = 70
  • Question 10

    Q. A rectangle has a perimeter of 100 inches. Its length is one more than two and a half times its width. Which equation can be used to determine the width of the rectangle? 
    answer choices
    2.5x + 1 = 100 
    3.5x + 1 = 100 
    5x + 2 = 100 
    7x + 2 = 100

    Q. The sum of three consecutive integers is 147. Which equation can be used to find the first integer? 
    answer choices
    3x = 147
    x + 3 = 147 
    x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 147 
    x ⋅ x ⋅ x = 147 
  • Question 14

    Q. The sum of four consecutive odd integers is equivalent to 232.  Which equation can be used to find the first integer? 
    answer choices
    4x = 232 
    x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = 232 
    x + x + 1 + x + 3 + x + 5 = 232 
    x ⋅ x ⋅ x ⋅ x = 232 
  • Question 15
