11. 49 + 7t = 21; 10 12. 32 = 7z 10; 6

13. The distance in miles a family has traveled so far on their trip can be modeled
by the equation y = 0.6x 75, where x is the number of minutes of driving
today. How many minutes has the family been traveling today when they have
traveled 201 miles?

1-8 An Introduction to Equations

Write an equation for each sentence.

19. The sum of a number and 11 is 12.

20. 4 times the sum of 6 times a number and 3 is 15

21. Sara is 5 years younger than Geoff. What is an equation that relates the age of
Sara S and the age of Geoff G?

22. Open-Ended Write four equations that all have a solution of 6. The equations
should consist of one multiplication, one division, one addition, and one
subtraction equation.

Use a table to find the solution of each equation.

23. 2d 4 = 8 24. 12 5x = 13

25. 18 = w + 14 26. 6z 14 = 8

Use a table to find two consecutive integers between which the solution lies.
27. 4k 13 = 12 28. 24.1 = 15q 32.5

Find the solution of each equation using mental math or a table. If the solution
lies between two consecutive integers, identify these integers.

29. j 18 = 2 30. 6y + 5 = 36

31. 2.2 2n = 12.2 32. 7b + 15 = 6

33. Writing Explain how you can determine if a number is a solution of an

equation.
