- Finish Unit 1 test - Solving Equations variables on both sides Monday 11/16/2017 - Finish Unit 1 test - Solving Equations variables on both sides
Math I: Unit 1 Solving Equations Foudation of Algebra: Unit 1 Steps to Solving Equations with Variables on Both Sides Step 1: Simplify Both Sides, if possible Distribute Combine like terms Step 2: Move the variable to one side Add or Subtract Like Term Step 3: Solve for the variable Use opposite operations to cancel numbers Example Problem:
Ex 2 Ex 1 Ex 3 Ex 4
Types of Solutions ONE Solution NO Solution MANY Solutions There is only one answer that makes the equation true (EX: x=3 This is the answer) There is no number that will satisfies both sides of the equation. Variables will cancel and a false statement is left. (EX: 5=3 Answer: No solution) Any number substituted for the variable will make the equation true. All variables will cancel and a true statement will be left. (EX: -2=-2 Answer: All real numbers)
Practice: Solve each equation. # 2 #1 # 4 # 3
