7. n = y = 3 n 4 = 17 12 n 9 = 27 27 n 54 = 97 256 y 194 = 506 I can solve equations with unknowns on one side

8. a = n = 6a + 1 3a - 2 5a + 7 = 20a - 8 1 a 7 = a + 11 4 a 2 = a + 16 n 3n 4 = 2n + 34 I can solve equations with unknowns on both sides

9. Box 1 Contains an unknown number. Box 2 contains a number that is 5 more than the number in the first box. Box three contains a number that is 2 less than the number in the second box. The number in the top box is 28. Write an expression for each box. Write and solve the equation that will give you the value of the unknown number in box 1. Plenary
