Warm Up: Can you figure out how many points there are in an award?
James received 4 awards but lost five points. CeCe
received 1.8 awards (one was unevenly shared)
and she earned six points. All the awards were
worth the same number of points; James and CeCe
ended up with the same number of points.

Solve equations with variables on both sides
12x ­ 5 + 3x ­ (­2x) = 50 ­ 3x + 2x

(Review Identify negative and positive terms in an equation and
use mult/div of ­1 to solve equations of the form ­x = a)
Solve equations with variables on each side
3x + 4 ­ 2x = 5 + 2x ­ 4x Agenda
1. Review
2. Notes
3. Practice
­4x = 5
5 ­ x = 10
12x ­ 5 + 3x ­ (­2x) = 50 ­ 3x + 2x
4

Solving equations with variables on both sides
1. Combine like
3x + 2 = 2 ­ x + 4x ­ 5 terms on each side
2. Get the variable by
itself on one side
3. Solve
4 + 3x = 3 + 2x
