(A) Model and solve one-variable, one-step equations and inequalities that represent problems, including geometric concepts

(Y8) Solve linear equations using algebraic and graphical techniques. Verify solutions by substitution (ACMNA194)

6.EE.5 Understand solving an equation or inequality as a process of answering a question: which values from a specified set, if any, make the equation or inequality true? Use substitution to determine whether a given number in a specified set makes an equation or inequality true.

6.EE.6 Use variables to represent numbers and write expressions when solving a real-world or mathematical problem; understand that a variable can represent an unknown number, or, depending on the purpose at hand, any number in a specified set.

6.EE.7 Solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving equations of the form x + p = q and px = q for cases in which p, q and x are all nonnegative rational numbers.

RI.7.8 Trace and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, assessing whether the reasoning is sound and the evidence is relevant and sufficient to support the claims.

7(8)(E)(ii) Analyze characteristics and structures of argumentative text by explaining how the author uses various types of evidence and consideration of alternatives to support the argument.
