Self Check

ⓐ After completing the exercises, use this checklist to evaluate your mastery of the objectives of this section.This is a table that has five rows and four columns. In the first row, which is a header row, the cells read from left to right: “I can...,” “Confidently,” “With some help,” and “No-I don’t get it!” The first column below “I can...” reads “1) solve equations using the Division and Multiplication Properties of equality,” “2) solve equations that require simplification,” “3) translate to an equation and solve,” and “4) translate and solve applications.” The rest of the cells are blank.
