Solving Linear Equations with variables on both sides using the Distributive Property Math Coloring Activity Algebra Math Wall.

Students will solve linear equations, including equations whose solutions require expanding expressions using the distributive property and collecting like terms.

For example, solving 2(x - 3) = 3x - 16

✦ Notes:

There are 20 questions on solving linear equations.

Each answer occurs twice, once with a number and once with a color.

The matching color can then be used to color the picture in a color by number activity.

The resource is printed in black and white for the students to color in.

All answers are included.
