For this option, you will work individually. You’ve worked hard in this module to become a pro at equations! Now, you’ll put your skills to the test. Your job is to create an equations portfolio. The format is up to you. Be creative! You may use a slideshow, document, video, etc. As long as all of the parts of the project are addressed, the delivery is up to you. Your portfolio must include a minimum of the following five types of equations and solutions: Two one-step equations Two equations that contains fractions One equation with distributive property One equation with decimals One real-world problem that is solved by an equation Remember that each equation must include at least one variable. Once you have created each equation, you will solve it and show your work. Pretend that you are teaching the equations to a new pre-algebra student. Or you can actually teach them to a sibling or friend! This is a total of 7 equations and solutions. pls be original!!

Here is what would be the contents of your presentation. You may design it and organize it as you wish.

Hope this helps,

Equations Portfolio

Introduction:

Welcome to the Equations Portfolio, where we will explore various types of equations and their solutions. In this portfolio, you will learn how to solve different equations step by step. Let's dive in!

One-Step Equations:

Equation 1: 3x + 7 = 16

Solution:

Step 1: Subtract 7 from both sides: 3x + 7 - 7 = 16 - 7

Step 2: Simplify: 3x = 9

Step 3: Divide both sides by 3: 3x/3 = 9/3

Step 4: Simplify: x = 3

Equation 2: 5y - 9 = 16

Solution:

Step 1: Add 9 to both sides: 5y - 9 + 9 = 16 + 9

Step 2: Simplify: 5y = 25

Step 3: Divide both sides by 5: 5y/5 = 25/5

Step 4: Simplify: y = 5

Equations with Fractions:

Equation 3: (2/3)x + 4 = 2

Solution:

Step 1: Subtract 4 from both sides: (2/3)x + 4 - 4 = 2 - 4

Step 2: Simplify: (2/3)x = -2

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 3/2: (2/3)x * (3/2) = -2 * (3/2)

Step 4: Simplify: x = -3

Equation 4: (3/5)y - 1 = 2

Solution:

Step 1: Add 1 to both sides: (3/5)y - 1 + 1 = 2 + 1

Step 2: Simplify: (3/5)y = 3

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 5/3: (3/5)y * (5/3) = 3 * (5/3)

Step 4: Simplify: y = 5

Equations with Distributive Property:

Equation 5: 2(3x - 5) = 4

Solution:

Step 1: Apply the distributive property: 2 * 3x - 2 * 5 = 4

Step 2: Simplify: 6x - 10 = 4

Step 3: Add 10 to both sides: 6x - 10 + 10 = 4 + 10

Step 4: Simplify: 6x = 14

Step 5: Divide both sides by 6: 6x/6 = 14/6

Step 6: Simplify: x = 7/3

Equations with Decimals:

Equation 6: 0.2x + 0.3 = 0.7

Solution:

Step 1: Subtract 0.3 from both sides: 0.2x + 0.3 - 0.3 = 0.7 - 0.3

Step 2: Simplify: 0.2x = 0.4

Step 3: Divide both sides by 0.2: (0.2x)/0.2 = 0.4/0.2

Step 4: Simplify: x = 2

Real-World Problem:

Problem: Alice has 30 apples. She wants to distribute them equally among her friends. If she has 6 friends, how many apples will each friend receive?

Solution:

Let's assume each friend receives "x" apples.

Equation 7: 30 = 6x

Solution:

Step 1: Divide both sides by 6: 30/6 = 6x/6

Step 2: Simplify: 5 = x

Conclusion:

Congratulations! You have successfully learned how to solve different types of equations. Remember to apply the correct operations and steps to isolate the variable. Keep practicing, and you'll become a pro at solving equations in no time!
