About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students solve linear equations with rational coefficients and variables on both sides.
  • Students use distribution and combine like terms to solve linear equations.
  • Students model recycling-drive situations with equations and interpret their solutions.

How to use

Use for independent practice after teaching equations with rational coefficients. Have students show their steps on separate paper and check solutions by substitution.

Curriculum

Common Core standard covered

8.EE.C.7.b

Recycling Drive: Check the Ledger

Solve rational-coefficient equations for a cans, bottles, and paper collection drive.

Collection Ledger Checks

Solve each equation from the drive's calculation cards. Show steps on separate paper.

1.
A paper-credit calculation uses the equation 0.4x + 0.35x + 2.5 = 25.

x =  

2.
A bottle-sorting record gives (5/6)x − 7 = 18. Find x.

x =  

3.
A can-credit check gives 0.3(x + 12) + 0.2x = 13.6. Which value solves the equation?
  • A. x = 12.8
  • B. x = 20
  • C. x = 27.2
  • D. x = 24.8
