Exit Ticket: Solving Equations

Grades 6–8 · CCSS 7.EE.B.4a, 8.EE.C.7b
Name
1. Solve. 4x + 5 = 2x + 13
x =
2. Solve. 3(x − 1) = 12
x =
3. Check your answer to #1 by substituting it into both sides. Do they match?
Yes / No

Answer Key: Exit Ticket

Solving Equations
  1. Subtract 2x: 2x + 5 = 13, 2x = 8 → x = 4
  2. 3x − 3 = 12, 3x = 15 → x = 5 (or divide by 3 first: x − 1 = 4)
  3. 4(4) + 5 = 21 and 2(4) + 13 = 21 → Yes, both sides are 21.

Quick read: an answer of x = 13/3 on #2 means the student multiplied only the x by 3. Have them try the Complex Equations level and use the Expand button.
