    U2 L5 Modeling Equations With Variables On Both Sides

    Uploaded by

    Haley Hamill
    The document provides instructions for modeling and solving two equations by drawing circles to represent variables and squares to represent numbers. It asks the reader to: 1) Model and solve the equation 5x - 4 = 3x + 8 by drawing the appropriate shapes and performing the steps to isolate the variable. 2) Model and solve the equation -4x + 7 = -7x - 8 using the same process. It then provides two word problems asking the reader to determine the value of x that satisfies a given equation, and choose which word problem situation is best modeled by the equation 12x + 10 = 15x + 8.

    How many hours need to be cycled so Joy and Hanna travel the same distance?
    C. Reginald assembled 12 skateboards for x hours and then packed 10 pairs of
    skates for another x hours. Shantel assembled 15 skateboards for x hours and
    then packed 8 pairs of skates for another x hours. How many hours need to be
    worked so Reginald and Shantel assemble the same number of skateboards and
    pack the same number of skates?
    D. Each math quiz ( x) has a word problem worth 12 points and a graphing problem
    worth 10 points. Each science quiz ( x) has a lab problem worth 15 points and an
    essay problem worth 8 points. How many problems need to be completed so the
    math quiz and the science quiz equal the same number of total points?
