Standard - NY-6.EE.5:
Understand solving an equation or inequality as a process of answering a question: which values from a specified set, if any, make the equation or inequality true? Use substitution to determine whether a given number in a specified set makes an equation or inequality true.

Standard - NY-6.EE.6:
Use variables to represent numbers and write expressions when solving a real-world or mathematical problem. Understand that a variable can represent an unknown number, or, depending on the purpose at hand, any number in a specified set.

Standard - NY-6.EE.7:
Solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving equations of the form x + p = q; x – p = q; px = q; and x/p = q for cases in which p, q, and x are all nonnegative rational numbers.

Standard - NY-6.EE.8:
Write an inequality of the form x > c, x = c, x = c, or x < c to represent a constraint or condition in a real-world or mathematical problem. Recognize that inequalities of these forms have infinitely many solutions; represent solutions of such inequalities on a number line.
