Solving Multi-Step Equations
An alligator hatchling 6 inches long grows about 12 inches per year. The expression 12a + 6 represents the length in inches of an alligator that is "a" years old.
·What does the number 6 represent in the expression 12a + 6?
·What does the 12a represent in the expression 12a + 6?
·What does this expression assume about the growth of an alligator over its lifetime?
·How old is the alligator if it is 11 feet 6 inches long?
7m - 17 = 60 2a - 6 = 4 8 = 3r + 7t/8 + 21 = 14

Allen is buying a pair of water skis that are on sale for 2/3 of the original price. After he uses a $25 gift certificate, the total cost before taxes is $115. What was the original price of
the skis? Write an equation for the problem and solve.
(2/3)p - 25 = 115
p = $210
Susan had a $10 coupon for the purchase of any item. She bought a coat that was on sale for ½ its original price. After using the coupon, Susan paid $125 for the coat before taxes. What was the original price of the coat? Write and solve and equation.
(½)p - 10 = 125
p = $270
Alex belongs to the Student Music Club and bought a discount card for $19.95. After one year, Alex has spent $63.40. Each CD cost $3.95. Write and solve an equation to find how many CDs Alex bought during the year.
Total Cost = Cost of CDs + Cost of Discount Card
63.40 = 3.95C + 19.95
Solve.
11 = C, or Alex bought 11 CDs during the year.
Sara paid $15.95 to become a member at a gym. She then paid a monthly membership fee. Her total cost for 12 months was $735.95. How much was the monthly fee?
Total Cost = Monthly Fee + Membership Fee
735.95 = 12 F + 15.95
Solve.
F = 60, or Sara paid $60 each month.
Lynda has 12 records in her collection. She adds the same number of new records to her collection each month. After 7 months Lynda has 26 records. How many records does Lynda add each month?
Total Number = Number Added each month + Original Number
26 = 7R + 12
Solve.
R = 2, or Lynda adds 2 new records each month.
Jan joined the dining club at the local cafe for a fee of $29.95. Being a member entitles her to save $2.50 every time she buys lunch. Jan calculates that she has saved a total of $12.55 so far by joining the club. Writes and solve an equation to find how many times Jan has eaten lunch at the cafe.
Total Savings = Savings each time - Original Fee
12.55 = 2.50x - 29.95
Solve.
x = 17, or Jan has eaten lunch 17 times at the cafe.

Write and Solve an equation for the following problem.Find three consecutive even integers whose sum is -42.
Let n = the least even integerThen n + 2 = the next greater even integer and n + 4 = the greatest of the three even integers.
n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) = - 42
n = -16-16, -14, -12

Simplifying Using the Distributive Property
9 = 6 - (x + 2)
9 = 6 + (-1)x + (-1)29 = 6 + -1x + -2
9 = (6-2) + -1x
9 = 4 - x
5 = -x
-5 = x
