7x = 21
x + 3 = 6

10. Create a real-world scenario that can be modeled by the equation 2x + 5 = 15. Explain how you would solve it.

Evaluation and Creation

11. If the equation 6x - 4 = 14 is solved incorrectly as x = 3, what mistake might have been made? (1 choice)

Incorrect division
Incorrect multiplication
Incorrect subtraction
Incorrect addition

12. Analyze the equation 4x + 8 = 20. Which steps are part of the correct solution process? (multiple choice)

Add 8 to both sides
Subtract 8 from both sides
Divide both sides by 4
Multiply both sides by 4

13. Which of the following statements best evaluates the solution process for the equation 3x + 9 = 18? (1 choice)

The solution process is incorrect because it results in a negative value.
The solution process is correct because it simplifies the equation.
The solution process is correct because the operations maintain equality.
The solution process is incorrect because the wrong operations were used.

14. Design a two-step equation that represents the following scenario: "A person has $50 and spends $3 on each book they buy. How many books can they buy if they want to have $20 left?" (multiple choice)

3x + 20 = 50
3x - 50 = 20
50 - 3x = 20
20 + 3x = 50

15. Create a complex real-world problem that can be solved using a two-step equation. Provide the equation and explain the solution process.
