3.1: Matching Hangers
3.2: Matching Equation Moves

Your teacher will give you some cards. Each of the cards 1 through 6 show two equations. Each of the cards A through E describe a move that turns one equation into another.

  1. Match each number card with a letter card.

  2. One of the letter cards will not have a match. For this card, write two equations showing the described move

3.3: Keeping Equality

Noah and Lin both solved the equation 14a = 2(a - 3).

Do you agree with either of them? Why?

Figures A, B, C, and D show the result of simplifying the hanger in Figure A by removing equal weights from each side.

Here are some equations. Each equation represents one of the hanger diagrams.

  • 2(x + 3y) = 4x + 2y

  • 2y = x

  • 2(x + 3y) + 2z = 2z + 4x + 2y

  • x + 3y = 2x + y

In a cryptarithmetic puzzle, the digits 0–9 are represented with letters of the alphabet. Use your understanding of addition to find which digits go with the letters A, B, E, G, H, L, N, and R.
