n - number she is thinking of

6 less than means something minus 6

product of 7 and this number means 7n

is 85 means equals 85
so, 7n-6 = 85 is the equation

How do we start this?

Set the two situations equal to each other and solve!
*Also, you can't add feet and inches, so I'm going to change everything to inches in my equation
3x12 = 36 and 4x12 = 48
36+ 15x (Type A)
48 + 10x (Type B)

Solve: 36 + 15x = 48 + 10x

Key words = SAME height

​DESMOS Tip of the Day
If you have an equation with a variable on both sides, put it in Desmos like this
y=36+15x
y=48+10x

Look for the x value of the point where the two lines cross

Explanation Slide...

The correct equation is C = 2h + 15, which represents the total cost C to rent the boat for h hours with a $15 deposit fee and $2 per hour charge.

13

Multiple Choice

Speedy Boat Rental charges a $15 deposit fee plus $2 for each hour of use to rent a paddle boat.  Write an equation for C, the total cost, to rent the boat for h hours.

1

h = 2C + 15

2

C = 15h + 2

3

h = 15C + 2

4

C = 2h + 15

14

Explanation Slide...

The correct equation in slope-intercept form is y = 5x + 20 because the $20 startup fee is the y-intercept (20) and the $5 monthly fee represents the slope (5).

15

Multiple Choice

 In order to join an online learning community, there is a $20 startup fee and a $5 monthly fee. Write an equation in slope-intercept form that models this situation.

1

y = 20x + 5

2

y = 5x +20

The initial fee of $25.

19

Multiple Choice

A T-shirt design company charges your team an initial fee of $25 to create the team's design. Each t-shirt printed with your design costs an additional $8. The equation for this situation is y = 8x + 25. Interpret the y-intercept in context.

1

The additional fee of $8.

2

The initial fee of $25.

3

The additional fee of $25.

4

The initial fee of $8.

Multiple Choice

When 4 people attend the movie theater, it costs $23.96. When 7 people attend the movie theater, it costs $41.93. What information is given and which equation should you use?

1

A slope and y - intercept are given, use y = mx + b.

2

A slope and y - intercept are given, use y - y1 = m(x - x1).

3

Two points are given; use y - y1 = m(x - x1).

4

Two different items that add to a total are given; use Ax + By = C.

Multiple Choice

You and your friends go to the movies and purchase some popcorn and Pepsi. Popcorn is sold for $4.99 per bag and Pepsi is sold for $1.99 per bottle. You each chip in to pay $24.92. Write an equation to represent the given situation.

1

y = 1.99x + 4.99

2

y = 4.99x + 24.92

3

y - 1.99 = 4.99(x - 24.92)

4

1.99x + 4.99y = 24.92

Multiple Choice

The Roaming Cell Phone Company charges $15.00 per month plus $0.20 per minute of airtime usage.  If Juanita uses x minutes of airtime, what is an equation that can be used to determine her monthly cell phone bill (C)?
1
C = 15 + 0.20x
2
C =15 (0.20x)
3
C = 15 + x + 0.20
4
C = 0.20 + 15x

They aren't usually multiple choice like this so you have to know how to set them up and work them out.
If the first term is n, then you have to add 2 each time to keep every number odd.

n + n+2 + n+4 = 93 which simplifies to 3n+6 = 93

Since n is 29, then n+2 is 31 and n+4 is 33

Do you remember consecutive integer questions?
