Equations with Variables on Both Sides

Zombie Flip Book Do everything right and you just might survive...

While you are trying to figure out your survival strategy you notice the class hamster, Hammi, in her cage. She looks hungry but you can’t tell if she’s craving hamster

food or brains.

2+6x=11-3x Pg 17) 1 Pg 43) -1

Pg 34) 3 Pg 39) -3

You make it into the cafeteria. That’s strange...the lunch lady is still serving lunch. You

think she would have noticed that nobody is in the mood for Tacos on this particular Tuesday.

Maybe she can help you survive! The lunch lady has always been a little scary but as you get closer you wonder if there’s something more

wrong with her than normal…

2+1.25x=10-2.75x Pg 39) 0 Pg 19) 2

Pg 45) 4 Pg 22) 6

All you find is a protractor. What good is a protractor going to do versus the hoard of

zombies quickly closing in on you.?

At least you can figure out what angle they are approaching you at...looks like they are coming

from 17° to your left.

Try again!

Math class always seems to put a glazed look on everyone’s faces. However, today everyone

seems even more distracted than normal…

14+4x=2-2x

Pg 32) 2 Pg 14) -2

Pg 8) 3 Pg 46) -3

As you’re filling up the vial you begin to daydream about how awesome it will be to be a

hero. You’re daydream is interrupted when Hammi’s little hamster ball bumps into the vial.

you try to save it but the cure spills on the floor and runs into a floor drain. All

hope is lost...thanks to Hammi.

Try again!

“Guess that answers that question”, you think to yourself as the zombie begins devouring your

brains.

Try Again!

The announcer says… “We are so happy to announce that the school is zombie free! Zombie free is the way to be!

Unfortunately the government didn’t get the message in time. We have 5 seconds until a

nuclear bomb hits our school…” 5...4...3...2...1…

Start on page 1. Work through the given problem. Go to the page that matches your answer. If your answer is correct you will

be taken to the next problem in the story. If your answer is incorrect you will be eaten

alive by zombies and have to try again. Continue to work your way through the book

until you reach the end of the story.

Good Luck!

You dart into the principal’s office with Hammi under your arm. You find your principal, Mr.

Nielson under his desk. He’s alive! He says that he has a zombie cure but doesn’t know how to get close enough to inject it into the zombies.

You have a plan…

4.5+1.5x=18-3x Pg 27) 1.5 Pg 26) 3

Pg 43) 6 Pg 38) 9

You sneak up being the dancing zombie and inject the cure into his leg. He turns around and snarls

at you. You think its over… But wait! He blinks his eyes a few time and then asks what happened. You tell him that it’s a long

story. Time to go rescue the rest of the student body!

8-4x=x+13 Pg 21) 0 Pg 37) -1

Pg 33) -2 Pg 23) -3

Your hand lands on a nearby graphing calculator. Really...is that the best weapon you can find?

You look around and decide that it’s all you have to work with.

You look around and see 2 zombies to your right and 3 zombies to your left. You type 2+3 into

your calculator… Looks like 5 zombies are going to kill you today.

Try again!

The area is overrun with Zombies! You don’t stand a chance.

You should have thought this out better…

Looks like this is the end for you and Hammi. Poor Hammi.

Try Again!

“Whatever...they are all going to fail if they don’t start paying attention soon”, you think to yourself. “Guess I’ll just be the only one listening to Mrs. Burns. Wait...did she just say x=-2

or that she ate 2 brains?”

15.3+x=1.3-x Pg 5) 0 Pg 34) 7

Pg 36) -7 Pg 45) 13.3

You realize too late why everyone looks so glazed over…

On the bright side Math class is ending early today. On the bad side...well you’re dead.

Try again!

As you get ready to start you hearing an undead roar. You

quickly turn around but not quickly enough. You inject the

cure into the zombie right as he latches onto your leg. The last thing you see before you die is him turning back into a human! Good for him...bad for you.

Try again!

Yay! It looks like Hammi is still just a regular hamster who is hungry for some hamster

pellets. You decide to take her with you so she doesn’t become zombie food. You get ready to make your mad dash to freedom but first you

need a zombie fighting weapon…

-2/3x+5=20-x Pg 2) 1/3 Pg 11) 1/5

Pg 42) 5 Pg 24) 45

You’re so excited that the cure worked that you let down your

guard just long enough to be ambushed. A whole heard of

zombies rounds the corner and eyes the four of you up like an all you can eat buffet. You try

to fight them off but are overpowered.

You were so close… Try again!

As you begin walking your trip over a random brain.

EEEWWWW! When you fell you dropped

Hammi. You begin to look for her. Right then a heard of zombies rounds the corner. They eat

Hammi as an appetizer. Looks like you're the main course.

Try again!

The announcer says… “We are so happy to announce that the school is zombie free! Zombie free is the way to be!

Try again!

She’s a Zombie! You use your handy dandy compass to take

down the zombie lunch lady. You scarf down some tacos and head to the principal’s office.

Even as zombies the students still seem to be avoiding that place...

4x+5=2+3.25x Pg 4) -4 Pg 6) -1/4

Pg 29) 3/4 Pg 41) 25

That plan didn’t work very well. You are going to have to be

much more careful if you are going to survive this Zombie

Apocalypse. Try Again!

The syringe is full and you head back out into the battle field...a.k.a. halls.

One by one you cure the students and staff. When everyone is cured there is much celebrat-

ing! It’s finally interrupted by the buzz of the school announcement system.

x-15=4x-3 Pg 13) 4 Pg 20) -4

Pg 15) 5 Pg 35) -5

The announcer says.. “We are so happy to announce that the school is now zombie free! Zombie free is the way to

be! Please go back to your original class to resume today’s normal classes.”

Wait...what!...back to Math class. Seriously! Looks like nothing can stop Mrs. Burns from

teaching you math...not even the zombie apocalypse.

The End

You search the room and you find a compass. The pointy end will make the perfect zombie

fighting tool! You grab Hammi, fight your way into the hall, and head towards the cafeteria. All this zombie fighting has worked up an appetite.

4x+8=7.2+5x

Pg 7) 4/5 Pg 44) -4/5

Pg 27) 8 Pg 6) -8

You never get your question answered because you are tackled by a zombie out of nowhere! The zombie digs into your brains and you see

Hammi roll away in her hamster ball. Maybe she stands a chance...probably not.

Try again!

You lay out the details of the plan to Mr. Neilson. First, you both dress up like zombies. Second, you blast the song “Thriller”

over the intercom...zombies are supposed to dance to that right? Third, while they are distracted by

their awesome Thriller dance moves you inject the cure!

What can go wrong?

9+3.5x=11-0.5x

The zombie curing is going great when you no-tice you’ve run out of the cure. You head back

to Mr. Neilson’s office to refill. Once in the office you insert your syringe into the storage vial and start to extract the cure…

2-2x=3x+17 Pg 9) 0 Pg 31) -1

Pg 28) -2 Pg 16) -3

You get closer to try and figure out if she’s a zombie or not. As she takes the first bite out

of your arm you get your answer.

Try again!

“Guess that answers that question”, you think to yourself as she begins devouring your brains.

“Ok she definitely said brains. Time to find a place

to hide quick!” You dart under your desk but you

don’t think that will trick your zombie classmates for long.

6x+14=4+4x Pg 8) 1 Pg 27) -1

Pg 43) 5 Pg 3) -5

You, Hammi, & Mr. Nielson head out of the office. As you turn the corner you see your first zom-bie...Mr. Clean the janitor. Even in death he’s still

cleaning this place. Look’s like he’s taken the Thriller bate and can’t quit dancing. Now to an-swer the big question...will you be able to get close enough to

administer the cure?

2x+4=10+5x Pg 22) 1/2 Pg 29) -1/2

Pg 5) 2 Pg 12) -2

As you get ready to start you hearing an undead roar. You

quickly turn around but not quickly enough. You inject the

cure into the zombie right as he latches onto your leg. The last thing you see before you die is him turning back into a human! Good for him...bad for you.

Try again!

The only weapon you can find is a ruler. You whack a nearby zombie on the head with it.

That only makes it angrier and hungrier. Maybe the ruler wasn’t the best weapon…
