Solving One-Step +/- Equations

Notes for today involved practicing with solving one-step equations using addition and subtraction. Homework is solving 3 word problems which require students to apply writing expressions and solving the equation.  I am requiring students to check their work (insert their solution for the variable) and must always LABEL the solution for a word problem.

Homework for tonight (along with read over notes for 1/7, 1/8, 1/12, 1/13, and 1/14):
