Week 7 Notes Station

This week we will be taking notes on Solving for a Negative Variable, Writing Simple Equations, and Making Equations from Comparison Statements. Then we will use those notes in order to solve practice problems.

Solving for a Negative Variable

Writing Simple Equations

Equations from Comparison Statements

Practice Problems:
