Solving Equations with One Unknown WORKSHEET
Use variables to represent quantities in a real-world or mathematical problem, and construct simple equations and inequalities to solve problems by reasoning about the quantities. a. Solve word problems leading to equations of the form px + q = r and p(x + q) = r, where p, q, and r are specific rational numbers. Solve equations of these forms fluently. Compare an algebraic solution to an arithmetic solution, identifying the sequence of the operations used in each approach. For example, the perimeter of a rectangle is 54 cm. Its length is 6 cm. What is its width? b. Solve word problems leading to inequalities of the form px + q > r or px + q < r, where p, q, and r are specific rational numbers. Graph the solution set of the inequality and interpret it in the context of the problem. For example: As a salesperson, you are paid $50 per week plus $3 per sale. This week you want your pay to be at least $100. Write an inequality for the number of sales you need to make, and describe the solutions.
Solving Equations with One Unknown WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
Students will find missing values to solve equations.
In section A, they will need to find the value of the symbol to make the calculation true.
In section B, a scaffolded approach to solving equations using a balancing method is introduces for some one step equations. This is then extended to two step equations in section C.
The scaffolding is then removed for section D.
All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Math.
