Unit B LINEAR EQUATIONS IN ONE VARIABLE PART 1
8.EE.7
Solve linear equations in one variable.
8.EE.7.A
Give examples of linear equations in one variable with one solution, infinitely many
solutions, or no solutions. Show which of these possibilities is the case by successively
transforming the given equation into simpler forms, until an equivalent equation of the
form x = a, a = a, or a = b results (where a and b are different numbers).
8.EE.7.B
Solve linear equations with rational number coefficients, including equations whose
solutions require expanding expressions using the distributive property and collecting like
terms.
_____ 1. I can solve two step equations.
_____ 2. I can solve equations with variables on both sides.
_____ 3. I can use the distributive property to expand expressions to solve linear
equations.
_____ 4. I can combine like terms to solve and simplify linear equations.
_____ 5. I can determine the number of solutions (one, none, infinitely many) based
on equation results.
_____ 6. I can solve linear equations whose solutions require expanding expressions
using the distributive property and collecting like terms.
