Quick Quiz
• To extend the techniques of solving balance puzzles to equation-solving techniques that are independent of the model
• To provide experience in assigning variables and translating problems into algebraic sentences
• To develop strategies for solving equations through operations with the balance model
Write an equation that fits the balance puzzle.
On the left side of the balance there are 4 bags of blocks and 4 single blocks. If n stands for the number of blocks in each bag, then the number of blocks in “four bags and four blocks” is 4n + 4.
On the right side of the balance there are 2 bags and 6 single blocks. The number of blocks in “two bags and six blocks” is 2n + 6.
Since the sides balance, the number of blocks on the left, 4n + 4, is equal to the number of blocks on the right, 2n + 6. This can be expressed with the equation 4n + 4 = 2n + 6.
Answer: 4n + 4 = 2n + 6

Find the equation that matches the balance puzzle.
A. 3n + 6 = 5n + 3
B. 4n + 3 = 3n + 5
C. 3n + 6 = 3n + 5
D. 4n + 3 = 5n + 3
Write an equation that fits the balance puzzle.
On the left side of the balance there are 3 bags of blocks and 1 single block. If n stands for the number of blocks in each bag, then the number of blocks in “three bags and one block” is 3n + 1.
On the right side of the balance there are 2 bags and 9 single blocks. The number of blocks in “two bags and nine blocks” is 2n + 9.
Since the sides balance, the number of blocks on the left, 3n + 1, is equal to the number of blocks on the right, 2n + 9. This can be expressed with the equation 3n + 1 = 2n + 9.
Answer: 3n + 1 = 2n + 9
