M.8.R.EE.7
PriorityEfficiently, flexibly, and accurately solve linear equations in one variable.
- a.Give examples of linear equations in one variable with one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solutions. Show which of these possibilities is the case by successively transforming the given equation into simpler forms, until an equivalent equation of the form x = a, a = a, or a = b results (where a and b are different numbers).
- b.Solve linear equations with rational number coefficients where solution paths may require using the distributive property and combining like terms.
