### Eureka Math Grade 8 Module 4 Lesson 9 Exercise Answer Key

Exercise 1.
Write the equation for the 15th step.
S15-7+7∙515=5S15

Exercise 2.
How many people would see the photo after 15 steps? Use a calculator if needed.
S15-7+7∙515=5S15
S15-5S15-7++7∙515=5S15-5S15
S15 (1-5)-7+7∙515=0
S15 (1-5)-7+7+7∙515-7∙515=7-7∙515
S15 (1-5)=7(1-515 )
S15=$$\frac{7\left(1-5^{15}\right)}{(1-5)}$$
S15=53 405 761 717

Exercises 3–11 as an Alternative to Discussion
Students should be able to complete the following problems independently as they are an application of skills learned to this point, namely, transcription and solving linear equations in one variable. Have students work on the problems one at a time and share their work with the whole class, or assign the entire set and allow students to work at their own pace. Provide correct solutions at the end of the lesson.

Exercise 3.

Let x represent the number of games he played. 5+1.25x=26.25 1.25x=21.25 x=$$\frac{21.25}{1.25}$$ x=17 Marvin played 17 games. Exercise 4. The sum of four consecutive integers is -26. What are the integers? Answer: Let x be the first integer. x+(x+1)+(x+2)+(x+3)=-26 4x+6=-26 4x=-32 x=-8 The integers are -8, -7, -6, and -5. Exercise 5. A book has x pages. How many pages are in the book if Maria read 45 pages of a book on Monday, $$\frac{1}{2}$$ the book on Tuesday, and the remaining 72 pages on Wednesday? Answer: Let x be the number of pages in the book. x=45+$$\frac{1}{2}$$ x+72 x=117+$$\frac{1}{2}$$ x $$\frac{1}{2}$$ x=117 x=234 The book has 234 pages. Exercise 6.

On Tuesday, she skateboarded for twice as many minutes as she did on Monday, and on Wednesday, she skateboarded for half the sum of minutes from Monday and Tuesday. Altogether, she skateboarded for a total of three hours. How many minutes did she skateboard each day? Answer: Let x be the number of minutes she skateboarded on Monday. x+2x+$$\frac{2 x+x}{2}$$=180 $$\frac{2 x}{2}$$+$$\frac{4 x}{2}$$+$$\frac{2 x+x}{2}$$=180 $$\frac{9 x}{2}$$=180 9x=360 x=40 Shonna skateboarded 40 minutes on Monday, 80 minutes on Tuesday, and 60 minutes on Wednesday. Exercise 11. In the diagram below, △ABC ~△A^’ B^’ C^’. Determine the length of $$\overline{A C}$$ and $$\overline{B C}$$. Answer: $$\frac{18}{10.3-x}$$=$$\frac{38}{5 x-0.3}$$ 18(5x-0.3)=38(10.3-x) 90x-5.4=391.4-38x 128x-5.4=391.4 128x=396.8 x=$$\frac{396.8}{128}$$ x=3.1 The length of $$\overline{A C}$$ is 7.2 mm, and the length of $$\overline{B C}$$ is 15.2 mm. ### Eureka Math Grade 8 Module 4 Lesson 9 Exit Ticket Answer Key Question 1.

How many people will have seen the e-card after n steps? Answer: Sn=$$\frac{3\left(1-4^{n}\right)}{(1-4)}$$ For each of the following questions, write an equation, and solve to find each answer. Question 2. Lisa has a certain amount of money. She spent$39 and has $$\frac{3}{4}$$ of the original amount left. How much money did she have originally?
Let x be the amount of money Lisa had originally.
x-39=$$\frac{3}{4}$$ x
-39=-$$\frac{1}{4}$$ x
156=x
Lisa had $156 originally. Question 3. The length of a rectangle is 4 more than 3 times the width. If the perimeter of the rectangle is 18.4 cm, what is the area of the rectangle? Answer: Let x represent the width of the rectangle. 2(4+3x)+2x=18.4 8+6x+2x=18.4 8+8x=18.4 8x=10.4 x=$$\frac{10.4}{8}$$ x=1.3 The width of the rectangle is 1.3 cm, and the length is 7.9 cm, so the area is 10.27 cm2. Question 4. Eight times the result of subtracting 3 from a number is equal to the number increased by 25. What is the number? Answer: Let x be the number. 8(x-3)=x+25 8x-24=x+25 7x-24=25 7x=49 x=7 The number is 7. Question 5. Three consecutive odd integers have a sum of 3. What are the numbers? Answer: Let x be the first odd number. x+(x+2)+(x+4)=3 3x+6=3 3x=-3 x=-1 The three consecutive odd integers are -1, 1, and 3. Question 6. Each month, Liz pays$35 to her phone company just to use the phone. Each text she sends costs her an additional $0.05. In March, her phone bill was$72.60. In April, her phone bill was \$65.85. How many texts did she send each month?
Let x be the number of texts she sent in March.
35+0.05x=72.60
0.05x=37.6
x=$$\frac{37.6}{0.05}$$
x=752
She sent 752 texts in March.
Let y be the number of texts she sent in April.
35+0.05y=65.85
0.05y=30.85
y=$$\frac{30.85}{0.05}$$
y=617
She sent 617 texts in April.

Claudia is reading a book that has 360 pages. She read some of the book last week. She plans to read 46 pages today. When she does, she will be $$\frac{4}{5}$$ of the way through the book. How many pages did she read last week?
Let x be the number of pages she read last week.
x+46=$$\frac{4}{5}$$ (360)
x+46=288
x=242
Claudia read 242 pages last week.
