1. M8 (Friday, Sept 11 th ) (1) Some friends decided to go to the aquarium. Each person pays $7.50 to get in the aquarium. They spend a total of $40 for the shark exhibit. The total cost is $70. What is the cost per person? Define the variable, set up an equation and solve the equation.

2. M8 (Friday, Sept 11 th ) KEY Answer : Define variable: X = # of friends/persons Equation set up: $7.50x + $40 = $70 Answer x = 4

3. M8 (Monday, Sept 14 th ) Faith spent $78 at the Fashion Warehouse sale. She bought 2 t-shirts that cost $14.50 each and 2 pairs of shoes that cost the same amount. How much did she spend for one pair of shoes?

4. M8 (Monday, Sept 14 th ) KEY Answer: Let s = the cost of one pair of shoes 2(14.50) + 2s = 78.00 29.00 + 2s = 78.00 2s = 49.00 s = 24.50 -29.00 -29.00 2 = 2 Check: 29.00 + 2(24.50) = 78.00 One pair of shoes cost $24.50.

5. M8 (Tues, Sept 15 th ) Solve each equation combining like terms (1)x + 11 + 8x = -2 + 31 (2) -5n – 2n = -9 + 9 V = 10

6. M8 (Wed, Sept 16 th ) Solve each equation using the distributive property 1.8v – 4(v+8) = 8 2.-(x-4)= 20 x = 10 x = -16

7. M8 (Thur, Sept 17 th ) Solve each equation 1.36 – 4a – 3a = -2 + 18 + 6 2.3(p – 5) + 8 = 17 a = 2 p = 8

8. M8 (Mon, Sept 28 th ) x = 8 a = 5 Solve the multi-step equations below: 1. 11x = 24 + 8x 2. 2a – 31 = -9a + 24

9. M8 (Tues, Sept 29t h ) n = 4 No solution Solve the equation with variables on both sides: 1.7n – 2 = 5n + 6 2. 12x -3 + x = 5x -4 + 8x

10. M8 (Thurs, Oct 1st) x = 66 Solve the equations by clearing the fraction:

11. M8 (Fri, Oct 2nd) -22 = -4 (no solution) Solve the multi-step equation below: (1) 24x – 22 = -4( 1- 6x)
