Read each problem carefully and write an equation to represent the situation. Use a variable for the unknown quantity.
1. Sarah had 15 apples. She gave some to her friends and now has 9 apples left. Write an equation to find out how many apples she gave away.
2. A recipe calls for 3 cups of flour. If you want to triple the recipe, how much flour do you need? Write an equation.
In the equation 5 + x = 12, the variable is .
If 'p' represents the number of pencils, then '2p' means .
1. Which equation represents 'a number decreased by 7 is equal to 10'?
7 - n = 10
n - 7 = 10
n + 7 = 10
7n = 10
2. Which equation represents 'the product of 4 and a number is 24'?
4 + x = 24
x / 4 = 24
4x = 24
x - 4 = 24
3. The balance scale below shows equal weight on both sides. Write an equation to represent the situation, where 'x' is the weight of one block.
Left side: 2 blocks (x) and a 5 kg weight Right side: 1 block (x) and a 10 kg weight
4. Write an equation that represents the relationship between 'x' and 'y' in the table below.
