What a Kaizly intervention for this skill looks like
This worksheet comes out of a full activity Kaizly generated for solving linear equations in one variable, "Solve for the Unknown: Equation Practice Mix". Here is a piece of it.
From the lesson
Read the lesson first, then work through the practice set. You will solve equations with the variable on one side and equations with the variable on BOTH sides, and you will meet all three possible outcomes: exactly one solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions. Show every balancing step, and check each answer by putting it back into the original equation.
One practice item
Solve for x: 2x + 5 = 17.
3x + 4 = 19, the same equation worked step by step in Example 1.
