MATHEMATICS OBJECTIVE
Students will be able to:
Combine like terms.
Solve equations with like terms on one side of the equation.
Make sense of scenarios and represent them with equations.
ESSENTIAL UNDERSTANDING
Combining like terms that are on one side of an equation makes it easier to solve for the variable by using inverse operations.
I can write and solve equations combining like terms.
SOLVING EQUATIONS WITH LIKE TERMS
In an equation with variable terms on one side, you can combine like terms
before using inverse operations and properties of equality to solve the
equation.
WORKED EXAMPLE
0.8n + 0.6n = 42
1.4n = 42 [Combine like terms.]
1.4n / 1.4 = 42 / 1.4
n = 30
