        Solve linear equations in one variable.
        
        CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.8.EE.C.7.A
        Give examples of linear equations in one variable with one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solutions. Show which of these possibilities is the case by successively transforming the given equation into simpler forms, until an equivalent equation of the form x = a, a = a, or a = b results (where a and b are different numbers).
        
        CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.8.EE.C.7.B
        Solve linear equations with rational number coefficients, including equations whose solutions require expanding expressions using the distributive property and collecting like terms.

        This is a rich standard that contains basic and essential skills that students need to know when they start learning Algebra.
        Many of the other topics in Algebra is based on this concept, such as solving simultaneous equations, solving quadratic equations, interpreting and drawing graphs, etc.
        
        Solving equations is a good introduction to understanding that variables have values and that equations could be used to represent predictions in real life.
        How a variable could have more than one value. And how to follow a logical path to solve a problem.
        
        As students finished their pre-algebra course in grade 7 and started an introduction to algebra at the end of the year, they start learning their Algebra 1 course in grade 8. During this year, students learn the fundamental basics of algebra, on which they base the concepts they learn ion the following years.
        
        The Big Ideas
        
        Solving real-life problems. In most situations where there is an unknown quantity, can be represented by a linear equation.
        
        Making predictions about what will happen in the future.
        
        Identifying the value of an unknown, and figuring out if this unknown value could have one, two, or more than a solution.

        Algebra: Linear Functions
        
        In this activity, students learn how to translate word problems into linear equations, and solve them. This is an advanced step in solving equations and one of the challenging activities for students that requires higher-order thinking and problem-solving skills.
