1. 7.1 Equations with Variables on Both Sides
Represent and solve real world problems with variables on Both sides

2. Review
X + 5 = 27

3. Review
41 = a - 17

4. Review
6y = 120

5. Review
45 = 5 n

6. Vocabulary Variable Terms: Numbers with variables
Example: x, 6x
Constant: (Numbers) Values that don’t change
Initial Fee: Values that don’t change (Y-intercept)
Rates: Values that change a specific rate (rate of change, or slope) (mx, or kx)
Inverse Operations: Applying the opposite operations of variable terms and constants

7. Variables on Both Sides
Combine Like Terms WITH THEIR SIGNS using Inverse Operations
Start with the Variable Terms and their signs
Always move the smaller variable term first so you get a POSITIVE
Move the constants last
***If you see multiplication or division, do those steps last
*** Box your answers
