Algebra 1 - Linear Equations and the Distributive Property

This post explains and give 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.
