Solving Linear Equations - 15 Minute Challenge (A) WORKSHEET

Suitable for Grades: 6th Grade, Algebra I, IM 1

CCSS: 6.EE.A.3, HSA.REI.B.3

CCSS Description: Apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions. For example, apply the distributive property to the expression 3 (2 + x) to produce the equivalent expression 6 + 3x; apply the distributive property to the expression 24x + 18y to produce the equivalent expression 6 (4x + 3y); apply properties of operations to y + y + y to produce the equivalent expression 3y.

Solve linear equations and inequalities in one variable, including equations with coefficients represented by letters.
