Solving EquationsHow does this concept progress as we move through middle school? 6th grade: 6.18 The student will solve one-step linear equations in one variable involving whole number coefficients and positive rational solutions. • 7th grade: • 7.14 The student will • solve one- and two-step linear equations in one variable; and • solve practical problems requiring the solution of one- and two-step linear equations. 8th grade: 8.15 The student will a) solve multistep linear equations in one variable on one and two sides of the equation; b) solve two-step linear inequalities and graph the results on a number line; and c) identify properties of operations used to solve an equation. ** What does this mean for Course 2 students who go to Algebra 1?
