This is an introduction to algebra. Fact families show four different ways to solve the same problem.
Given: z + 15= 35
FF: 15+z=35
35-z=15
35-15=z
z=20
**Start with just switching the two addends z and 15
**Any other way to add? Nope!
**Now read the equation backwards and replace the = with a -
(35-z=15)
**Since 35 is our largest amount, our last family "member" is to subtract 15 from 35 and ultimately get our answer
Given: 95-y=40
FF: 95-40=y
y+40=95
40+y=95
y=55
