You did these with your group. Now do them on your own — the model above is yours to copy.

1. 1

   Same stepsFinish what the group started. Use the model above, step for step.

   Let's do one together: Last year the student council washed 34 cars and raised $408. This year the goal is $500. At the same price, how many cars must they wash? Write 34 cars → $408. Divide both by 34. What does 1 car raise? (408 ÷ 34 = 12, so $12 per car.) Now scale $12 up to $500. Let n = cars. Write and solve the equation. (12n = 500, so n = 500 ÷ 12 ≈ 41.7) They cannot wash 41.7 cars. Is 41 cars enough? (No. 41 × 12 = 492, which is less than $500. They need 42 cars.) Now say they wash 35 cars. Let p = price per car. What p reaches $500? (35p = 500, so p = 500 ÷ 35 ≈ 14.29. They must charge at least $14.29.)

   My first step is ___ , because the problem asks for ___ .

   Warm restartA table pairs x = 1, 2, 3 with y = 4, 8, 12. Which equation fits?

   1. Ay = x + 3
   2. By = 4x
   3. Cy = x + 4
   4. Dy = x ÷ 4
3. 3

   Warm restartA bike travels 12 miles every hour. Which equation gives distance d after h hours?

   1. Ad = 12h
   2. Bd = 12 + h
   3. Cd = h ÷ 12
   4. Dd = 12 − h

You answered these out loud. Now write them.

Answer, then say how you know — the reason is the part that counts.

1. 5

   Think it throughBakery A charges $2 per cupcake plus a $10 delivery fee, so its cost equation is c = 2n + 10, where n is the number of cupcakes. Substituting Yelina's $110 budget, which equation should she solve to find n?

   1. A2n + 10 = 110
   2. B2n + 10 = 100
   3. C2n = 110 + 10
   4. Dn = 2(110) + 10

   Why is that the answer?

   I chose ___ because ___ .
2. 6

   Think it throughSolving 2n + 10 = 110 for Bakery A, how many cupcakes can Yelina buy?

   1. A45 cupcakes
   2. B50 cupcakes
   3. C55 cupcakes
   4. D60 cupcakes

   How do you know?

   I chose ___ because ___ .
3. 7

   Think it throughBakery B charges $2.50 per cupcake with no fee: cost = 2.5n. Solving 2.5n = 110 gives n = 44 cupcakes. Which bakery should Yelina choose to get more cupcakes within her $110 budget?

   1. ABakery A, because 50 cupcakes is more than 44 cupcakes
   2. BBakery B, because 2.5 is greater than 2
   3. CBakery A, because it has a delivery fee
   4. DThey are the same, because both cost exactly $110

   Explain your thinking.

   I chose ___ because ___ .
4. 8

   Back to the modelThe plant produces 2.5 cars per hour, and the order needs 1,000 cars. Solving 2.5h = 1,000 gives h = 400 hours. Why do you divide instead of multiply to find h?

   I divide 1,000 by 2.5 because multiplication and division ___ each other.

Sort it again — on paper this time

Write the letter of the group each one belongs in.

• An 8-hour shift produces 20 cars
• Washing 34 cars raised $408 last year
• 24 hours of operation produce 60 cars
• Washing 42 cars raises $504
• Producing 1,000 cars takes 400 hours
• Washing 10 cars raises $120
• One hour of operation produces 2.5 cars
• The charge last year was $12 per car

Use the words

Fill each blank with a word from the bank.

• A value of the variable that makes an equation true is a ___.
• To replace a variable with a number so you can compute is to ___.
• That amount or more — the smallest amount that still works — is ___ ___.
• To use what you already know to say what a future amount will be is to ___.

   Find the mistakeAnother student made this exact mistake in this lesson. Explain why it is wrong, then write what they should have done.

   The mistake: Adding the rate instead of multiplying — writing 2. 5 + 8 = 10.
2. 10

   Say moreYou sorted facts between the assembly line (2.5 cars/hour) and the car wash ($12/car). How did you check that 'washing 42 cars raises $504' belonged with the car wash?

   42 cars at $12 each is 42 × ___ = $___.

Last check

These two come from Lesson 9.3. If they are shaky, that is the lesson to revisit — not this one.

1. 12

   Show what you knowQuick check — you've got this: The plant produces 2.5 cars per hour. Using 2.5h = 1,000, how many hours does the order of 1,000 cars take?

   1. A40 hours
   2. B400 hours
   3. C997.5 hours
   4. D2,500 hours

   Explain your choice.

   I know it is ___ because ___ .
2. 13

   From Lesson 9.3Quick check — you've got this: Recreation World charges $24.95 per month. Let m = number of months and c = total cost. Which equation represents the relationship?

   1. Ac = 24.95m
   2. Bc = 24.95 + m
   3. Cm = 24.95c
   4. Dc = m ÷ 24.95
3. 14

   From Lesson 9.3Once Diamond has both equations, how does she use them to decide which option is better?

   1. AAdd the two equations together to find one combined cost
   2. BPick whichever equation has the smaller numbers written in it, without solving anything
   3. CSubstitute the same number of songs into both equations and compare the two total costs
   4. DGraph only one equation and assume the other follows the same line
