Solving Equations Using Addition or Subtraction

Challenge your mathematicians to simplify and solve a variety of different equations. This worksheet focuses on multi-step problems that begin with combining like terms and advance toward solving equations with variables on both sides. A...

There's more than one way to solve an equation — three, actually. Scholars learn how to solve simple linear equations in one variable using three different methods, which include using balance scales, using decomposition (e.g., turning...

Go from easy to challenging with a worksheet full of different problems designed for solving equations. Your mathematicians will be able to start small with one- and two-step equations and work their way up to multi-step equations. The...

Deal with an equation that is not all whole. Pupils watch as the short video shows solving two one-step equations containing decimals. One equation involves addition and the other subtraction. As with whole numbers, the decimal equations...

Beginning a "handful of fairly simple inequality videos," Sal demonstrates a few inequality problems in which mathematicians need to add or subtract. Though he states that his goal is to familiarize viewers with the notation, his...

Here is an equation in which the first step is to use the distributive property to get rid of the parenthesis. Then it is solved for the variables. Since there are variables on both sides of the equation, it is important to verify the...
