Solving Linear Equations Unit
Lesson 1 – Solving one-step equations
Learning Target #3 – I can solve one-step equations and show appropriate computation(s) performed
An equation is a mathematical sentence that includes two expressions that have the same ________________________.
Every equation has an _______________ sign and contains at least one _______________.
An equation looks like:
Finding a value for the variable which makes the equation a true statement is called ______________________________.
When an equation has been solved the answer will appear as:
An equation is like a balance beam. If something is done to one side of the balance beam then the same thing must be done to the _______________ side in order to maintain the _______________.
You can simplify equations algebraically by:
(a) ____________ or ____________ the same number from ____________ sides.
(b) ____________ or ____________ the same number from ____________ sides.
Two key things to remember when equation solving:
1. The variable is being ____________ so that it ends up being by itself on one side of the equation.
2. What is done to one side of the equation must be done to the __________________ to maintain balance.

Here we go! Solve the following equations using one step.
1. n – 9 = 3 2. m + 3 = 0 3. x – 3 = -11
4. x + 12 = -25 5. -1 = y + 7 6. 8 + x = 2
7. x – 1 = -5 8. 4 + x = 16 9. 6n = 30
10. -21 = 7y 11. -5x = -35 12. 8y = -64

Lesson 2 – Solving two-step equations
Learning Target #4 – I can solve basic two-step equations by showing appropriate steps and order
Steps to solving two-step equations:
1. Add or subtract the _____________ from both sides of the equation.
2. Divide both sides of the equation by the ____________________ORMultiply both sides of the equation by the __________________
OR multiply both sides by the reciprocal of the coefficient.
3. CHECK by substituting in the equation.
1. 2y + 4 = 12 2. 4y + 15 = 9 3. -5x + 12 = 10
4. -3n – 25 = 10 5. -4m – 5 = 15 6. -3y – 2 = -14
7. 5 + 7y = -51 8. -12 – 3x = -5 9. -17 = 2x - 5
10. 0 = -2x – 18 11. -5x = -3512.

Lesson 3 – Collecting Like Terms and Evaluating Expressions
Learning Target #5 – I can simplify expressions by combining like terms.
Collecting or combining like terms is when you add or subtract like variables or constants
For example: 2x + 5x =
11t – t =
15p – 9p + 1 + 3 =
In many cases you will have more than one variable to combine
For example: 8a – 2b – 6a – 3b =
5c + d – 2c – d =
4xy – 5x + 3yx + 2y + 8y =
3x – 4 + 9c + 12 =
-3x2 – 8xy + 7x2 – 4xy =
Substitution is when you plug in the number into the given equationFor example: Simplify, then evaluate
Learning Target #6 – I can evaluate expressions by substituting values given for variables.
(a) 2a + 8a , when a = 2 (b) 7t – 3t, when t = 3
(c) 3 + 4x – 2x, when x = 5 (c) -5p – 3p + 1 – 6, when p = -1
Simplify and then evaluate each expression when x = -2 and y = 3.
(a) 3x + 4y – 5x – 2y b) 7x2 – 2y – 8y – 2x2
