In today’s lesson, we will continue with linear equations, focusing on how to form and solve them using “mister number” word problems. These problems involve thinking of a number and performing operations such as multiplication, division, addition, or subtraction to find the unknown number. We will start with simple examples that involve a single operation and gradually progress to more complex problems requiring multiple operations. Lastly, we will explore how to balance equations and check our solutions to ensure they are correct.
