This CCSS aligned page focuses on solving equations that have variables on both sides of the equal sign (beginning with when there are basic multi-step equations to those including the distributive property for elevated practice).

This is typically the third lesson I teach in the year! I focus heavily on using similar language to solving standard equations, focusing specifically on inverses and "doing to one as we do to the other". Remembering it's just the same as combining like terms helps turn this repeated practice opportunity into habit! It is also the third lesson in a larger Solving Equations unit, which includes tests, quizzes, and student data tracking, that you can find in my store!

Zero prep for you! Simply print, handout, and follow along with the answer key! Back to distance learning? Students can print out at home, use a site to write on the PDF, or save them to a Google Slide to take notes!

• Easy to follow along with instruction
• Clear, student-friendly language for concepts
• Labeled sections for easy reference and study
