Goal:
Use two transformations to solve an equation
Eligible Content:
A / A /A

2. Think of opening a present
First you remove the bow.
Then you remove the wrapping paper.
Finally you know what is inside!
First, get rid of addition and subtraction
Then, get rid of multiplication and division
Finally, you know what x is!

3. 8x + 35 = x = x = - 3

4. Examples 5x – 2 = 23 -3x + 7 = 58 -4 = 6x + 8 2 + 3x = -13 5 – 4x = 21

5. Solve 6v + 7 = –5. Check your solution.
A. v = –2
B. v = –6
C. v = 2 D.

6. Examples with Fractions
𝑥+7 8 =5
x = 20 p = -162 m = 98 x = 33

7. Examples with Decimals
-3.7 = 2n + 5.1
x ≈ x ≈ 5.04 m = .36 n = -4.4
If you have to round your answer you should NOT use an equal sign (=), you have to use the symbol that means approximately! ≈
