Solve for x: 4 +2x = 34
x = 15. One would begin by subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation, which would result in the equation 2x = 30. To continue, we would need to balance the equation by dividing each side by 2, which would give the answer x = 15. To check, we can substitute 15 back into the equation, which would show 4 + 2(15) = 4 + 30 = 34.

What is one method of differentiation one could use to assist a student, or group of students, who is/are struggling on a concept during whole-group instruction?
In order to assist students who are struggling, the teacher could pull them to a same-ability small group to reteach/clarify the material being taught. This process could include complete reteaching of the standard and/or remediation of prerequisite skills necessary for the task.
