Equations and Inequalities
Standards:
7.EEI.1 Apply mathematical properties (e.g., commutative, associative, distributive) to simplify and to factor
linear algebraic expressions with rational coefficients.
7.EEI.3 Extend previous understanding of Order of Operations to solve multi-step real-world and mathematical
problems involving rational numbers. Include fraction bars as a grouping symbol.
7.EEI.4 Apply the concepts of linear equations and inequalities in one variable to real-world and mathematical
situations.
1. Write and fluently solve linear equations of the form + = and ( + ) = where , , and
are rational numbers.
2. Write and solve multi-step linear equations that include the use of the distributive property and
combining like terms. Exclude equations that contain variables on both sides.
3. Write and solve two-step linear inequalities. Graph the solution set on a number line and interpret its
meaning.
4. Identify and justify the steps for solving multi-step linear equations and two-step linear inequalities.
Unpack the standards by answering the questions in the table below.
What does the standards say you should know?

What does the standards say you should be able to do?

Questions that will be answered in this pathway:

~ What is an equation?
~ What is an equality?
