Solve the equations below:
2. 2(3 + 2a) = 6 – a + 5
3. 3 + 4b = 3b – 1
4. In many occupations someone organizes the work so the employee does not
have to solve any equations. All that is required is to substitute into the
equation. Solve 3x + 2y + f = t for x, the number of three-point field goals.
5. Dave traveled a total of 20km by walking and running during the last
basketball game. Three-Fourths of the distance he traveled was by running.
How far did he run? Write an equation for this scenario and solve.
6. The coaches at Texas High School have a system for rating players. They plug
statistics for the players into the equation below and solve. They compare
the results and rank the player with the highest score first.
Y = (P + 1.5R + 2A + 1.5S + 2B) – ( (1.5T + 2F + [M – O]) / G)
P = points earned
R = number of rebounds
A = number of assists
S = number of steals
B = number of blocks
T = number of turnovers
F = number of fouls
M = number of missed shots
