(many of them have already finished all 3 topics)
Together, they spent a total of 821 minutes; (14 hrs.) at
the site. You can explore as much as you like, but
remember, the only topics you get credit for are:
3. Writing Expressions 1 with variables
Writing & interpreting decimals
Equations with variables on both sides
Your source for Resources, Grades,
Extra-Credit, and More.
4. 1. Clear any fractions/decimals
2. Distribute if necessary.
3. Simplify each side of equation. (Combine like
terms on each side before step four.)
4. Move Constants & Variables to opposite
sides of equation
5. Simplify, divide by coefficient; the result is
your answer.
Steps for Solving Equations
Write all practice problems in your notebook and try to
solve before solution given.
5. This Week
1. One Step 2. Two Step 3. Multi-Step
4. With Variables on both sides
5. With Distribution
6. Equations with Decimals
7. Fractional Equations with one or more Denominators
8. Translate & Solve Word Problem Equations
This week is all about equations, leading to our 2nd test
this Friday on equations and translations. Most, if not all, of
the equation types we have already covered. So far, we have
practiced the following:
6. Warm-Up/Review:
a. 8 less than the square of a number. 𝑥2
− 8
b. The quotient of 7 and twice a number. 7
2𝑛
c. The sum of 25 and 5 times a number 25 + 5y
Translate: (4)
d. Four less than the product
of four and x is nine. 4𝑥 − 4 = 9

-x = 17 --We are not solving for –x, do not leave like this
Either: a) Divide both sides by (-3) or b) Multiply
both sides by -1 at the end of the problem.
8. Warm-Up:
Translating and solving word problems: (3)
Key Concept:
Always Assign the variable to the smallest, least, lightest,
shortest, etc. Every other number is shown by its relationship
to the variable.
1. The A's played 72 games. They won 10 more games
than they lost. How many games did they win and lose?
2. $270.00 is divided among A, B, and C. B gets twice as
much money as A. C gets $20 more than B. How much does
each receive?
3. Andy is 2 times younger than his sister and his father is
25 years older than him. If the total of their ages is 53
years, what is Andy’s age and his father’s age?
9. Class Work 1.4
Please copy the problems. This classwork is due at the
beginning of class Thursday, October 22.
Make a note in your grade tracker. (Along with the Khan
Academy topics due Wednesday.
