English Sentences and Mathematical Sentences
1. Match each mathematical sentence on the left with its translation on the right.
Then, for each mathematical sentence, declare what the variable “x” represents.
___a.
2x  8  22
x means_____________________
___b.
x  2(x  2)  (x  2)  22

Guess & Check Format to help write Equations
3. You’ve decided to give your best friend a bag of marbles for his 15th birthday. Since you know that
your friend likes red marbles better than brown ones, the number of red marbles in the bag is 4
fewer than 5 times the number of brown marbles. The bag contains 74 marbles.
a. Solve using a Guess & Check table.
Solution: _______________________________________
b. Use your Guess & Check table to help write an equation or system of equations to find out how many
of each type of marble is in the bag.

Multiple Choice:
_____7.
Pearl’s work for solving this system of equations is shown here. All her work is correct.
Which method is she using?
System:
y = –5 – x
Pearl’s Solution:
2x + (–5 – x) = 20
2x + y = 20
x – 5 = 20
+5 +5
x = 25
