W11 Math Exercises: Introduction to Solving for a Variable

Overview

This week we started applying all the concepts we have studied so far in order to begin solving equations. Up until now, the skills you were learning were like tools. Now you can apply these tools to answer mathematical questions. However, it takes practice to know how and when to apply each tool. These exercises are meant to help you practice.
