Introductory Algebra 2 - Solving Equations

This introductory algebra course is designed to provide students with a solid foundation in solving linear equations. Throughout the course, students will learn to understand and manipulate equations of the form ax + b = c, where "a," "b," and "c" are constants and "x" is the unknown variable. The course covers essential algebraic techniques such as simplifying expressions, applying the distributive property, and isolating the variable to find its value.

Students will explore a range of problems, from one-step equations to more complex multi-step equations, and will practice solving for "x" in both positive and negative contexts. Additionally, the course introduces concepts like the properties of equality, which are crucial for maintaining balance within equations. Along with individual practice problems, students will also work on word problems, translating real-world situations into algebraic expressions and equations.

By the end of the course, students will have developed the skills needed to approach linear equations with confidence, laying the groundwork for more advanced topics in algebra and mathematics. Interactive exercises and guided examples ensure that students not only grasp the mechanics of solving equations but also develop critical thinking skills necessary for problem-solving. This course will increase the fluency of students to build a strong foundation in mathematics.
