AIM: SWBAT solve two-step equations using a balance model
THINK ABOUT IT!
Mark is working at a grocery store and is stacking apples. Before he stacks them, he puts them on a
balance to weigh them. On the right side of the balance, he put 15 apples. On the other side of the
balance, he puts two boxes of apples and three additional apples (pictured below). The weight on
either side of the balance is equal, which keeps the balance balanced.
Step A: Write an equation to represent the balance.
Step B: If there is the same number of apples in each box, how many apples are in each box
