SIMPLE EQUATIONS: ADDITION, SUBTRACTION, MULTIPLICATION, DIVISION

We will examine equations in which we apply the algebraic process to solve them.  Equations are written to compare two equal quantities; thus, both sides of the equals sign represent the same amount.  We may apply math operations to one side of the equation, but must remember to apply the same math operation to the other side to keep the two equations in balance.  First we will look at the algebraic process to solve simple equations using addition and subtraction and then we will look at solving simple equations using multiplication and division. Print out the “chips” to aid in solving the equations.
