Applications of Linear Equations Example 1: Joe’s age is 5 less than Fred’s age. Their combined age is 71 years. Find Joe’s age. 1) Variable declaration: Joe’s age is described in terms of Fred’s age. Let x represent Fred’s age. Let x - 5 represent Joe’s age (5 less).

Joe’s age is 5 less than Fred’s age. Their combined age is 71 years Joe’s age is 5 less than Fred’s age. Their combined age is 71 years. Find Joe’s age. x = Fred 2) Write the equation: x - 5 = Joe combined age means add (Joe’s age) + (Fred’s age) = 71 years

Joe’s age is 5 less than Fred’s age. Their combined age is 71 years Joe’s age is 5 less than Fred’s age. Their combined age is 71 years. Find Joe’s age. 3) Solve the equation:

Joe’s age is 5 less than Fred’s age. Their combined age is 71 years Joe’s age is 5 less than Fred’s age. Their combined age is 71 years. Find Joe’s age. 4) Write an answer in words, explaining the meaning in light of the application x = Fred x - 5 = Joe Joe’s age is 33 years. Fred’s age is 38 years.

Applications of Linear Equations Example 2: A 5 foot board is cut into three pieces. The longest piece is 24 inches longer than three times the shortest piece. The middle piece is 6 inches less than twice the shortest piece. Find the length of the long piece.

1) Variable declaration: Make a drawing of a board: Cut the board into pieces Short Middle Long

A 5 foot board is cut into three pieces A 5 foot board is cut into three pieces. The longest piece is 24 inches longer than three times the shortest piece. The middle piece is 6 inches less than twice the shortest piece. Find the length of the long piece. Short Middle Long

A 5 foot board is cut into three pieces A 5 foot board is cut into three pieces. The longest piece is 24 inches longer than three times the shortest piece. The middle piece is 6 inches less than twice the shortest piece. Find the length of the long piece. Short Middle Long Note that all lengths are written in terms of the shortest piece. Let the length of the short piece be x.

A 5 foot board is cut into three pieces A 5 foot board is cut into three pieces. The longest piece is 24 inches longer than three times the shortest piece. The middle piece is 6 inches less than twice the shortest piece. Find the length of the long piece. Short Middle Long

A 5 foot board is cut into three pieces A 5 foot board is cut into three pieces. The longest piece is 24 inches longer than three times the shortest piece. The middle piece is 6 inches less than twice the shortest piece. Find the length of the long piece. Short Middle Long 24 inches longer … than 3 times the shorter …

A 5 foot board is cut into three pieces A 5 foot board is cut into three pieces. The longest piece is 24 inches longer than three times the shortest piece. The middle piece is 6 inches less than twice the shortest piece. Find the length of the long piece. Short Middle Long The board is 5 feet long. Since the long piece was given in terms of inches, convert the 5 feet to inches.

Short Middle Long 2) Write the equation: (short) + (middle) + (long) = total length

Short Middle Long 3) Solve the equation:

4) Write an answer in words, explaining the meaning in light of the application Short Middle Long

Short Middle Long Short piece length = 7 inches Middle piece length = 8 inches Long piece length = 45 inches Note that the lengths add up 60 inches, the total length of the board.

The long piece is 45 inches. Look at the given problem again to determine exactly what was asked for: A 5 foot board is cut into three pieces. The longest piece is 24 inches longer than three times the shortest piece. The middle piece is 6 inches less than twice the shortest piece. Find the length of the long piece. The long piece is 45 inches.
