STANDARDS Standard 6.EE.5 Understand solving an equation or inequality as a process of answering the question: which values from a specified set, if any, make the equation or inequality true? Use substitution to determine whether a given number in a specified set makes an equation or inequality true. Standard 6.EE.6 Use variables to represent numbers and write expressions when solving a real-world or mathematical problem; understand that a variable can represent an unknown number, or, depending on the purpose at hand, and number in a specified set.

Standard 6.EE.7 Solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving equations of the form x + a = b and ax= b for cases in which a, b and x are all non-negative rational numbers.

Standard 6.EE.8 Write an inequality of the form x > c or x < c to represent a constraint or condition in a real-world or mathematical problem. Recognize that inequalities of the form x > c or x < c have infinitely many solutions; represent solutions of such inequalities on number line diagrams.
