2 3 Simplifying Variable Expressions - Continued
Unit Benchmarks:
7.NS.A.3 Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers.
7.EE.A.1 Apply properties of operations as strategies to add, subtract, factor, and expand linear expressions with rational coefficients.
7.EE.B.4 Use variables to represent quantities in a real-world or mathematical problem, and construct simple equations and inequalities to solve problems by
reasoning about the quantities.
•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. For
example, the perimeter of a rectangle is 54 cm. Its length is 6 cm. What is its width?
•b. Solve word problems leading to inequalities of the form px + q > r or px + q < r, where p, q, and r are specific rational numbers. Graph the solution set
of the inequality and interpret it in the context of the problem. For example: As a salesperson, you are paid $50 per week plus $3 per sale. This week you
want your pay to be at least $100. Write an inequality for the number of sales you need to make, and describe the solutions.
