Problem 1:

Question: Andre wants to save $40 to buy a gift for his dad. Andre’s neighbor will pay him weekly to mow the lawn, but Andre always gives a $2 donation to the food bank on weeks when he earns money. Andre calculates that it will take him 5 weeks to earn the money for his dad’s gift. What equation below can be used to find how much Andre’s neighbor pays him each week to mow the lawn?

#### Solution:
1. Let \( x \) be the amount Andre’s neighbor pays him each week.
2. Andre donates $2 each week, so his net earnings per week are \( x - 2 \).
3. Over 5 weeks, his total net earnings are \( 5(x - 2) \).
4. Andre needs to save $40, so the equation is:
\[
5(x - 2) = 40
\]

#### Correct Answer:
\[
\boxed{B}
\]

Problem 2:

Question: Elena is cutting a 30-foot piece of ribbon for a craft project. She cuts off 7 feet, and then cuts the remaining piece into 9 equal lengths of feet each. Which equation matches the situation?

#### Solution:
1. Elena starts with a 30-foot ribbon.
2. She cuts off 7 feet, leaving her with \( 30 - 7 \) feet.
3. She then cuts the remaining ribbon into 9 equal pieces. Let \( x \) be the length of each piece. The equation is:
\[
9x = 30 - 7
\]
4. Simplifying the right-hand side:
\[
9x = 23
\]

#### Correct Answer:
\[
\boxed{A}
\]

Problem 3:

Question: Jada’s teacher fills a travel bag with 5 copies of a textbook. The weight of the bag and books is 17 pounds. The empty travel bag weighs 3 pounds. How much does each book weigh?

#### Solution:
1. Let \( x \) be the weight of each book.
2. The total weight of the 5 books is \( 5x \).
3. The empty travel bag weighs 3 pounds, so the total weight is the sum of the weight of the bag and the weight of the books:
\[
5x + 3 = 17
\]

#### Correct Answer:
\[
\boxed{A}
\]

Problem 4:

Question: A piece of scenery for the school play is in the shape of a 5-foot-long rectangle. The designer decides to increase the length. There will be 3 identical rectangles with a total length of 17 feet. By how much did the designer increase the length of each rectangle?

#### Solution:
1. Let \( x \) be the increase in length for each rectangle.
2. The original length of each rectangle is 5 feet. After the increase, the length of each rectangle becomes \( 5 + x \).
3. There are 3 identical rectangles, so the total length is:
\[
3(5 + x) = 17
\]

#### Correct Answer:
\[
\boxed{B}
\]

Problem 5:

Question: Mallory bought pizza and soda for a party. If she spent $12.57 on the sodas and $10.95 for each pizza, how many pizzas did she buy if her total is $89.22?

#### Solution:
1. Let \( p \) be the number of pizzas Mallory bought.
2. The cost of the sodas is $12.57.
3. The cost of each pizza is $10.95, so the total cost of the pizzas is \( 10.95p \).
4. The total amount spent is the sum of the cost of the sodas and the cost of the pizzas:
\[
12.57 + 10.95p = 89.22
\]

#### Correct Answer:
\[
\boxed{D}
\]
