Algebra I Unit 1 Lesson 2A: Solving Linear Equations

Model Lesson aligned to the Mississippi Department of Education MCCR Standards: A-CED.1- Create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems. Include equations arising from linear and quadratic functions, and simple rational and exponential functions. A-REI.1- Explain each step in solving a simple equation as following from the equality of numbers asserted at the previous step, starting from the assumption that the original equation has a solution. Construct a viable argument to justify a solution method. A-REI.3- Solve linear equations and inequalities in one variable, including equations with coefficients represented by letters.
