What 7.EE.B.4.a Covers

Grade 7, Expressions & Equations, Cluster B (use expressions and equations to solve real-life and mathematical problems). Students solve two-step equations in the form px + q = r and p(x + q) = r, where p, q, and r are specific rational numbers, including problems that start as word problems rather than bare equations.

Where It Fits

Builds directly on Grade 6's one-step equations, 6.EE.B.7 (x + p = q, px = q). Leads into Grade 8's equations with variables on both sides and the distributive property, 8.EE.C.7.b.

Common Mistakes

Undoing the operations in the wrong order (subtracting q before dividing by p, or the reverse, depending on the equation form).
Losing track of a negative sign when q or p is negative.
Stopping once px is isolated instead of finishing the division to solve for x.
