Learning & Habit Objectives

Learning: I will solve equations with more than one step

Habit: I will work step-by-step

Success Criteria

• I can begin by moving the constant term

• I know that the last step is to move the coefficient

Notebook: Copy this example (will do in class)

Look at the side with the variable:

5 is the constant, and 3 is the coefficient.

First, subtract 5 from both sides. Then divide both sides by 3.
