The document provides an introduction to solving linear equations. It explains that to solve a linear equation, you must isolate the variable by doing the opposite operations of both sides of the equation. An example problem is worked through step-by-step, showing how to isolate the variable using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The example checks the solution by substituting it back into the original equation. Students are then given a problem set to practice solving linear equations involving multiples of three.

should ever do about it: admit it, learns from it, and don’t
repeat it.” - Paul “Bear” Bryant
