Solving Equations with Variables on Both Sides
TSWBAT: solve an equation that has variables on both sides.
Students solve multi-step problems, including word problems, involving linear equations and linear inequalities in one variable and provide justification for each step.

4. What you do to one side, you must do to the other.
Notes
Steps for Solving Linear Equations
Simplify both sides of the equation.
Distribute and/or combine like terms.
2. Collect the variables to one side of the equation.
Collect to the side with the greater variable.
3. Use inverse operations to isolate the variable.
PEMDAS backwards.
The Golden Rule (of Mathematics)
What you do to one side, you must do to the other.
