Solving Linear Equations by Aleissa Wolf https://padlet.com/aw44959/swolf_contentcuration Content Curation: How to solve linear equations for a single variable. en-us 2025-06-02 18:38:17 UTC 2025-06-02 19:45:36 UTC hello@padlet.com What is an Equation? aw44959 https://padlet.com/aw44959/swolf_contentcuration/wish/3476522758 2025-06-02 18:38:18 UTC https://padlet.com/aw44959/swolf_contentcuration/wish/3476522758 Properties of Equality aw44959 https://padlet.com/aw44959/swolf_contentcuration/wish/3476522779 Before diving into solving equations, make sure your students understand these key properties:
- Addition Property of Equality
- Subtraction Property of Equality
- Multiplication Property of Equality
- Division Property of Equality
These are our tools for solving!

Remember the goal is to isolate the variable!

Have students solve two equations and explain their steps in writing. This helps check both procedural and conceptual understanding.

Ex 1: Solve 2x + 6 = 21 and explain each step.

Ex 2: Troy needs to earn $40 to pay for a new phone case. His grandma gave him $20 for his birthday, and he earns $5 for every chore that he completes at home. How many chores does Troy need to complete to have enough money? Explain your answer in words.
