1. Note: Many problems in this packet will be completed together in class during review time. Students are not expected to complete every single problem in the packet. They should complete the “starred” problems on each page-- in addition to studying the notes and past quizzes– in order to be fully prepared for test. Topics: Identify an Expression, Equation, or Inequality Modeling One -Step Equations (balance scale with algebra tiles) Solving One-Step Equations Solving Two-Step Equations Equation Word Problems Golden Rule of Algebra– what we do on one side of an equation, we must do to the other side of the equation! Name:____________________________________________________________________________________Date:_____/_____/__________ Study guide/ practice Unit 4 Test, “Equations” On the back of this cover page is the Unit 4 “Quick Guide” – for your reference.

2. Unit 4, “Equations” Quick Guide To solve a 2-step Equation: 1)Get rid of constant by adding or subtracting!! 2)Get rid of coefficient by multiplying or dividing!!

3. Draw tiles onto the below balance scales in order to model the following: One-Step Equations: 1. x + -2 = 3 2. 5 + x = -1 3. x + (-6) = 24. x – 7 = -1 5. x – (-3) = 66. x – (-2) = -3 Two-Step Equations: 7. 2x + 4 = -88. 3x + (-1) = 14

4. Solve the following addition/ subtraction one-step equations: 1) x + 3 = -212) 4 + x = 163)x – 2 = -1 4) x – (-4) = -305) -12 + x = 286) x – (-100) = 75 7) x + 9 = -58) -15 = -6 + x9) -4 = x – 24 Solve the following multiplication/ division one-step equations: 1) 3x = -213) -8x = 64 4) 99 = 9x 7) 3x = -219) 64 = -8x

5. Solve the following two -step equations: 1) 5x + 4 = -213)-8x – 2 = 62 4) 1 + 9x = 73 7) 15 = 3x + 129) 9 - 7x = 58 10) 18 = 4x + 612) 3 - 12x = 51

6. SITUATIONEQUATIONANSWER 1)Last week Frank ran 4 more miles than his dad. Frank ran 16 miles. How many miles did his dad run? 2)What is the maximum amount of pop rocks packages you can buy with $4.00 if one package costs $0.80? 3)You would like to save $200 for vacation spending money.

How many weeks will it take you to save the money? 4)You purchase three school play tickets, plus some concession goodies for $7. If you spent a total of $25, how much was each ticket? 5)You sold five times the amount of girl scout cookie boxes that Sheila sold. If you sold 80 boxes, how many did Sheila sell? 6)Mrs. Dyson unpacks a box of Christmas ornaments. She splits the ornaments equally among herself and her three family members. Then, she finds an additional 2 ornaments that she keeps for herself. If Mrs. Dyson ends up with a total of 24 ornaments (counting the extra two), how many ornaments were in the original box? 7)344 seventh- graders went on a field trip to Washington D.C. 15 students traveled by car and the rest were equally split among 7 school busses. How many students were on each bus?

7. 1. Apples cost $0.55 each, and oranges cost $0.75 each. Edward bought 8 apples, and some oranges. If he spent a total of $8.15, how many oranges did Edward buy? (pick correct equation) A.0.55(8) + 8.15y = 0.75 B.0.55(8) – 8.15y = 0.75 C.0.55(8) – 0.75y = 8.15 D.0.55(8) + 0.75y = 8.15 2.Casey earns $24 a day, plus $8 for each doll she assembles. Yesterday she earned $104. How many dolls did Casey assemble? (Pick the equation that correctly represents this situation) A.104 = 8d – 24 B.104 = 8d + 24 C.104 = 8d + 24d D.104 = 8d – 24d 4.Rick paid $40 down on a stereo system and then made equal payments until he paid it off. He paid $240 in all. What more do you need to know to find how much he paid each month? A. What kind of music Rick likes. B.The amount of time it took to find the stereo. C.The number of payments he made. D.How much $ he makes at his job. 5. What is the value of “x”? A.x = 4 B.x = 6 C.x = 8 D.x = 10 6.Kira had 3 baskets of strawberries. Each basket contained the same number of strawberries. After giving 10 strawberries to her friend, she had 26 strawberries left. How many strawberries were in each basket? A.3 B.10 C.12 D.36
