Equations (and formulas) are used to represent real-world situations.
If you want to know what score you need on a semester exam to earn a particular final grade, we can write and solve an equation to find the answer.
We’ll solve this type of problem later this semester.
…equations can help us do magic
…equations can help us do magic!!
More on that later…
By the end of the semester, you will be able to:
By the end of the semester, you will be able to:•solve a multi-step equation, with variables
on both sides of the equal sign
By the end of the semester, you will be able to:•solve a multi-step equation, with variables
on both sides of the equal sign
