Before you begin
Read or listen to the model and identify what the task asks before responding.
How to use this worksheet
- What remains on the right after subtracting the constant from both sides?
- Evaluate 5x + 8 using your solution.
- Why is subtracting from only one side not a valid balance step?
A common mistake to discuss
The equality may no longer hold because the two sides were changed differently.
What to practice next
Create a different example that preserves the learning goal, and explain how you would check it.
