M.7.10.a

Solve word problems leading to equations of the form px + q = r and p(x + q) = r, where p, q, and r are specific rational numbers. Solve equations of these forms fluently. Compare an algebraic solution to an arithmetic solution, identifying the sequence of the operations used in each approach. (e.g., The perimeter of a rectangle is 54 cm. Its length is 6 cm. What is its width? An arithmetic solution similar to “54 – 6 – 6 divided by 2” may be compared with the reasoning involved in solving the equation 2w – 12 = 54. An arithmetic solution similar to “54/2 – 6” may be compared with the reasoning involved in solving the equation 2(w – 6) = 54.)
