What is: True?
An equation for the amount of money Mariana spends on apples and bananas is: 3a + 4b = 28, where a represents pounds of apples and b represents pounds of bananas. If we know Mariana bought 1 pound of bananas, how many pounds of apples did she buy?
What is: 8 pounds?
The irrational number 3.1415.... is known as...?
What is pi?
Given the equation 2a + 3b = 2a + 1, solve for a
What does it mean for a number to be a solution to an equation?
What is: A number is a solution to an equation when you plug that number into the equation it makes the equation true?
An equation for the amount of money Mariana spends on apples and bananas is: 3a + 4b = 28, where a represents pounds of apples and b represents pounds of bananas. If we know Mariana bought b pounds of bananas, how many pounds of apples did she buy?
What is: a = (28 - 4b)/3?
We cannot simplify 100x + 37y because...?
What is: they are not like terms?
Given the equation 5x = x, solve for x.
What is: x = 0?

What is: ordered pair?
Given the equation 3p + 5q = 7p + 9q - 12, solve for p
Explain why an x value that makes Equation 1 true does not make Equation 2 true.
Equation 1: 2x + 4y = 12
Equation 2: x + 4y = 3
What is: They are not equivalent equations?
Amaris says that a solution to the equation 2x - 6 = 7x must also be a solution to 5x - 6 = 10x.
Explain whether or not Amaris is correct.
What is: It is true because they are equivalent equations (added 3x to both sides is the equivalent move)?
