2. 6th Grade Solving: 7th Grade Solving: 8th Grade Solving:
One-step Equations
Equations of the form x + p = q  and  px = q 
where  p, q and x are all nonnegative rational numbers.
7th Grade Solving:
Two/three-step Equations
Equations of the form  px + q = r  and  p(x + q) = r
where p, q, and r are specific rational numbers.
8th Grade Solving:
Three/four/five-step Equations
Give examples of linear equations in one variable with one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solutions.
Solve linear equations with rational number coefficients, including equations whose solutions require expanding expressions using the distributive property and collecting like terms.
