Algebra 1 - Linear Equations and the Distributive Property

This post explains and gives practice opportunities related to TEKS A.5A:

solve linear equations in one variable, including those for which the application of the distributive property is necessary and for which variables are included on both sides

Instruction

Students practice the steps needed to solve an equation that requires the use of the distributive property and possibly has variables on both sides of the equal sign.

Here are some activities you can use to teach this standard.
