What two whole numbers is the square root of 8 between? How do you know? What is 160% written as a decimal? How do use division to change 5/8 to a decimal? What is the answer when you do so?
A method to solve equations. 1. Write down the order of operations you would perform on x if you knew its value. 2. Identify the inverse (undoing) operation for each operation in your list. 3. Perform those inverse operations in reverse (backward) order to solve the equation for x (or whatever variable you have). If you have variables on both sides of the equation, manipulate the equation so that it is only on one side before doing inverse in reverse.
Handout #1-6 together See three worked examples next slide - #s 2, 5 and 8 on assignment (#1 is already worked as an example on assignment page)
Now try #7-12 (the rest of the worksheet) on your own. Due tomorrow!
