Using the formula sheet Equations typically contain one or more letters These letters are called variables Variables : an unknown in an equation EXAMPLE: what is y when x = 2 in the equation y = 3x + 5 y = 3(2) + 5 = = 11
Use the formula sheet just like a word equation! Basic steps for using formulas – Circle the question – Match question with formula on formula sheet – Make a fact box of the variables in the formula – Organize variables within formula – Plug and chug – solve for the question – Report final answer with correct units
