  10. Backtracking

  11. Backtracking • Three different ways to illustrate backtracking: • Working up method • Working down method • “Cloud” method 3(x + 5) – 14 = 19

  12. Backtracking -4(x/2 + 9) = -8

  13. Guess – Check – Generalize Instructional Strategy

  14. Story Problem #1 • Last summer, Sergio mowed lawns to earn money. He mowed 35 lawns per week and charged $6 per lawn, for a total of $210 per week. This summer, Sergio wants to earn an additional $150 per week. He will raise his price to $8 per lawn and find more customers. How many additional customers will Sergio need to find to reach his goal?
