Math 7/8 Homework - Writing and Solving Equations

Use this writing and solving equations and inequalities worksheet to have your learners solve four multiple choice problems and two word problems.  Additionally, pupils graph one inequality solution and explain in words the steps they...

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...

Teach solving equations through an exploration of properties. Before pupils solve equations they manipulate them to produce equivalent equations. The activity switches the focus from finding a solution to applying properties correctly.

Now there are parentheses in these equations? As the lessons continue in this series, equations get progressively more complex. Eighth graders solve equations by applying the distributive property before using inverse operations. 

Where did all these variables come from, anyway? The previous lessons in the series ask learners to solve multi-step equations using the distributive property, combining like terms, and using inverse operations. Now scholars solve...

Sal offers an example showing how to manipulate numbers on either side of the equal sign to isolate the variable and solve the equation.

The instructor demonstrates how to use the distributive property to get rid of the fractions in an equation. Remember to have learners plug their answers back into the original equation in order to check their work.

Sal demonstrates how to solve an equation. He begins by saying that the variable needs to be isolated. He shows how to move numbers on either side of the equal sign to isolate the variable. He also shows how to verify answers by plugging...

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...
