- BAKING Carlota made one batch of brownies.
She used the recipe shown. If 8 eggs remain
after making the brownies, how many eggs did
Carlota have originally? Write and solve an
equation. (Lesson 1D) - NUMBER THEORY Molly is thinking of a number.
Suppose you divide the number by 5 and then
add -2. After subtracting 10, the result is -25.
What is Molly’s number? Use the work backward
strategy. (Lesson 1A) - Audrey drove 200 miles in 3.5 hours.
Which equation can you use to find the
rate r at which Audrey was traveling?
A. 200 = 3.5r
B. 200 · 3.5 = r
C. _3.5r = 200
