Define and work with variables, terms, and expressions to set up and solve algebraic equations
Translate real-world word problems — like cost estimates and scoring scenarios — into linear equations
Solve multi-step equations by isolating variables using inverse operations and verify your answers
Apply the distributive property to single terms and polynomials, including expressions with negative coefficients
Multiply binomials using three distinct methods: FOIL, the Box Method, and the Distributive Method
Combine like terms to simplify polynomial expressions after distribution or multiplication
Build tables, identify rates of change, and interpret graphs to understand linear relationships
Calculate slope and intercepts from equations, tables, and graphs and connect them to real-world contexts
