Problem of the Day Which equation models the relationship in the table if “r” represents the row number and “t” represents the number of tulips? A. r= 3t B. r = 3 t C. t = r + 3 D. t = 3r Row NumberNumber of Tulips
Problem of the Day Answer is D. t = 3r T= total # of tulips R = total # of rows 1 row of tulips = 3 tulips 2 rows of tulips = 6 tulips 3 rows of tulips= 9 tulips Do you see the pattern?
Lets Get Started Vocabulary Simplify= replace a numerical expression with its simplest name. AKA= Solving a multiple step problem Exponent= tells how many times a number Base= it’s a factor Power= has two parts, a base and an exponent
Order of Operations To solve math problems with more than one operation (+, -, x, ÷ ), remember this order Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally Please = Parentheses Excuse= Exponents My Dear= Multiply and/ or Divide Aunt Sally= Add and/ or Subtract
There are no parentheses, so I simplify the power Next, I multiply 8 x 2 Then, I subtract Now I solve:
3 Evaluate 3a – 2 ÷ b for a = 7 and b = 4 I substitute 7 for a, and 4 for b Simplify the power Multiply and Divide from left to right Subtract
