8M: 2-5 QC (solving for y)
1a.  What would you do first in the equation below       to solve for y?
subtract 2 from both sides
add 2 to both sides
1b.  If the equation above is solved for y, which      equation below would be correct?  Drag the       correct equation to the "correct" spot and the       other equation to the "wrong" spot.
CORRECT:
y = 3x - 5
?
2y = 6x-10
multiply 2 to both sides
divide both sides by 2
WRONG:
y=6x-12
?
2a.  What would you do first in the equation below       to solve for y?
subtract 4 from both sides
add 4 to both sides
2b.  If the equation above is solved for y, which      equation below would be correct?  Drag the       correct equation to the "correct" spot and the       other equation to the "wrong" spot.
CORRECT:
y = 6x + 4
?
y - 4 = 6x
multiply -4 to both sides
divide both sides by -4
WRONG:
y = 6x - 4
?
add 4 to both sides
subtract 4 from both sides
3a.  What would you do first in the equation below       to solve for y?
3b.  If the equation above is solved for y, which      equation below would be correct?  Drag the       correct equation to the "correct" spot and the       other equation to the "wrong" spot.
CORRECT:
y = 8x
?
y = 2x
4
multiply 4 to both sides
divide both sides by 4
WRONG:
y = 2x + 4
?
4a.  What would you do first in the equation below       to solve for y?
subtract 11 from both sides
add 11 to both sides
4b.  If the equation above is solved for y, which      equation below would be correct?  Drag the       correct equation to the "correct" spot and the       other equation to the "wrong" spot.
CORRECT:
y = -4x - 11
?
y + 11 = -4x
multiply 11 to both sides
divide both sides by 11
WRONG:
y = -4x + 11
?
5a.  What would you do first in the equation below       to solve for y?
subtract -3 from both sides
add -3 to both sides
5b.  If the equation above is solved for y, which      equation below would be correct?  Drag the       correct equation to the "correct" spot and the       other equation to the "wrong" spot.
CORRECT:
y = -3x + 5
?
-3y = 9x-15
multiply -3 to both sides
divide both sides by -3
WRONG:
y = 3x - 5
?
