Solution

Thank you for uploading the image. I'll analyze the questions and solve them for you. Let’s go step by step for clarity.


1 and 2: Write an equation and solve for the variable.

1. Balance: 23 = y + 12

  • Equation: 23=y+1223 = y + 12
  • Solution: Subtract 12 from both sides: y=2312=11y = 23 - 12 = 11

2. Balance: 3 + a = 15

  • Equation: 3+a=153 + a = 15
  • Solution: Subtract 3 from both sides: a=153=12a = 15 - 3 = 12

3–8: Solve each equation.

3. g8=25g - 8 = 25

  • Add 8 to both sides: g=25+8=33g = 25 + 8 = 33

4. 25+y=4225 + y = 42

  • Subtract 25 from both sides: y=4225=17y = 42 - 25 = 17

5. r+82=97r + 82 = 97

  • Subtract 82 from both sides: r=9782=15r = 97 - 82 = 15

6. 30=m1830 = m - 18

  • Add 18 to both sides: m=30+18=48m = 30 + 18 = 48

7. 150=e+42150 = e + 42

  • Subtract 42 from both sides: e=15042=108e = 150 - 42 = 108

8. a51=12a - 51 = 12

  • Add 51 to both sides: a=12+51=63a = 12 + 51 = 63

9. Analyze and solve the word problem.

a. Explain how t12=42t - 12 = 42 models the situation.

  • tt represents the total number of students who tried out for the play.
  • t12t - 12 accounts for the number of students who didn’t get a role.
  • The equation t12=42t - 12 = 42 states that 42 students didn’t get a role.

b. Solve for tt.

  • Solve t12=42t - 12 = 42: t=42+12=54t = 42 + 12 = 54
  • So, 5454 students tried out for the play.

10. Solve x+7=28x + 7 = 28.

  • Subtract 7 from both sides: x=287=21x = 28 - 7 = 21

11. Is Krystal correct?

  • Krystal says to add to solve y11=52y - 11 = 52.
  • This is correct because to isolate yy, you add 11 to both sides: y=52+11=63y = 52 + 11 = 63
  • Yes, Krystal is correct.
