1. FSA Practice Problems Expressions and Equations – 6 th Grade Examples 6.EE.2.7 and 6.EE.2.8

2. Solve the problem algebraically, then answer. 1 x = 6: 4x is multiplication, so divide both sides by 4. Question 1

3. Read carefully then select the correct answer. 2 Question 2 B. t > -4. The open dot means “not including the value.” The arrow facing right, says “anything greater than.”

4. Read the question and write an equation. Next, select the correct response. 3 3 C. The amount she started with minus her purchase equals the change. Question 3

5. Read carefully and construct an inequality. Next, select the correct answer. 4 Question 4 A. s ≥ 24. The words “at least” mean 24 or more. This would be graphed with a filled in dot.

6. Copy the problem then solve it algebraically. Next, select the correct solution. 5 Question 5 A. Remember, 4w means 4 times w. The opposite of multiply by 4 is to divide by 4 on both sides. Write as fractions Multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor or KCF Multiply numerators then multiply denominators The answer is not simplified

7. Copy the number line then graph. 6 Question 6

8. Copy the equation then write the step to solve beside it. 7 Question 7 Remember, solution steps are determined by the variable side. You use inverse operations to “undo” each operation.

9. Complete the problem. 8 Question 8 D. The result would be more than twelve which needs an open dot.

10. Complete the problem. 8 Question 9 35b = 665 b = 19 boxes

11. Complete the problem. Explain what algebraic property has been applied. 9 Question 10 D. x > 0.8 means all values greater than positive 0.8. You need an open dot.

12. Copy the problem and use algebraic reasoning to perform the first step in the solution. 10 A. 5x means five times x. So, the first step is to divide both sides by 5. Question 11

13. Complete the problem. Show work and then select your answers. 11 h ≥ 500 Height must be 500 or more. Question 12

14. Answer the question. Show mathematical proof to support your response. 12 Question 13 D. Since 6 times the cost of each notebook would be the total cost, the total cost divided by 6 would be cost of each notebook (p).

15. Complete the problem. Show work and then select your answers. t < 5 Colder than means less than. Question 14

16. Complete the problem. Show work and then select your answers. 9g means 9 times g. Divide both sides by 9. 720 ÷ 9 = 80 g = 80 Question 15

17. Complete the problem. 0 < p < 8 The number of people must be between zero and eight. In this question, weight is a distractor. Question 16

18. Complete the problem. Show work to support your answer. A. The original amount (m) plus $0.25 equals $1.45. Question 17

19. Complete the problem. Show work to support your answer. What algebraic property is demonstrated? Question 18 The first hour ended between one and six. The last hour is five. The boat can travel 2 through 9 miles.

20. Copy the problem and isolate h using algebra. h = 324 The first and only step is to subtract 21 from both sides. Question 19

21. Complete the problem. Show work and then select your answers. 19 a ≤ 60 Question 20
