What does it mean to Justify Solutions to Linear Equations?

Using real number properties(such as the commutative, associative, and distributive properties) and the properties of equality (such as adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing by a non-zero) to justify why each step in the process of solving a linear equation is legal!

To Justify means to...

• Explain reasoning

• Show Steps

• Because we are justifying steps already taken, we will need to explain

• Note:

• APOE= Additive Property of Equality

• MPOE= Multiplication Property of Equality

Multiple Select

What are examples of Justification in Algebra?

• Explain the steps taken to solve with using real number properties and properties of equality

• Show work AND Explain Steps taken using real number properties and properties of equality

• Show all of your work ONLY
