  • It has no unknown quantities.
  • It contains only multiplication.
2.In y = 6x + 4, what number is the coefficient of x?
  • y
  • 6
  • x
  • 4
3.In y = 3x + 9, identify the constant term.
  • 3
  • x
  • 9
  • y

Equations in Everyday Situations

5.Zoe earns $9 for each hour of yard work. The total pay y after x hours is given by y = 9x. Find the pay for 4 hours.
6.A skating rink charges a $5 entry fee and $8 for each hour rented. Write an equation for total cost y in terms of hours x.
7.For the yard-work equation y = 9x, state what x represents, what 9 represents, and the value of y when x = 0.
8.Match each situation to its equation.
  • A delivery service charges $6 plus $3 per mile.
  • A club charges $25 for each month, with no starting fee.
  • A kayak rental costs $7 per hour, with no starting fee.
  • y = 25x
  • y = 3x + 6
  • y = 7x
9.In your own words, describe what a linear equation can show about how two quantities are related.
10.A streaming service charges $4 each month plus a one-time $12 setup charge. Write an equation for the total cost y after x months.
11.Which statement correctly describes y = 5x + 2?
  • The rate of change is 5 and the starting value is 2.
  • The rate of change is 2 and the starting value is 5.
  • The variables are 5 and 2.
  • The equation has no constant term.
