Students will expand on the basic strategy of reversing operations to solve linear equations. They will add the tactics of simplifying on either side of the equation, and of eliminating a linear term by addition or subtraction when there are linear terms on both sides. Linear equations can have no solution, one solution or infinite solutions. This mission is aligned with Common Core State Standards: 8.EE.C.7, HAS.REI.A.1.
