This Solving Equations with Variables on Both Sides handout also includes:
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 equations with variables on both sides of the equation.

Instructional Ideas
- Use the lesson as an independent learning challenge; allow individuals to choose to watch the video or read the printed lesson
Classroom Considerations
- Requires Internet access to utilize the video resource
- Equations still require strategies learned in previous lessons
- Review of solving equations with variables on a single side may be necessary before introducing variables on both sides
Pros
- Video provides clear explanations of the methods used when solving equations
Cons
- Video does not include examples of problem solving
- Practice problems become complex quickly
