Equations and Their Solutions

Watch this video as many times as you need. WSQ in your notebooks.  

W = Work out any problems assigned during the video in your notes.
S = Summarize the video.  This can be done using bullets.  List at least 3 things you learned from this video or important things to remember about this lesson.
Q = Question you have or a question someone else might have about the information in the video. This can also be a question that sparks discussion or causes other to think about the topic more deeply.

Summary Questions;
1. What is a solution?
2. How can you determine whether a value is a solution to an equation?
3. Equations are commonly described as a balance.  Why is this a good description?
