Objective - To solve equations with the variable in both sides. Solve. 2x + 4 = 5x x 4 = 3x = 3x 3 7 = x -5x -3x + 4 = x = -21 x = 7
1) Goal: Isolate the variable. 2) Undo operations with their opposite operation. 3) Always do the same thing to both sides of the equation. 4) Easiest to undo add/subtract before multiply/divide.
1) Goal: Isolate the variable on one side of the equation. 4) Easiest to undo add/subtract before multiply/divide. 2) Undo operations with their opposite operation. 3) Always do the same thing to both sides of the equation.
Solve. 1) 4(x - 2) - 2x = 5(x - 3) 4x x = 5x x - 8 = 5x x -8 = 3x = 3x 3
2) 3(x + 2) - (2x - 4) = - (4x + 1) 3x x + 4 = - 4x - 1 x + 10 = - 4x x 5x + 10 = x = x = =
3) 5(m - 6) = [2(m - 7) - 5m] 5m - 30 = [2m m] 5m - 30 = [-3m - 14] 5m - 30 = m m - 30 = 12m m -30 = 7m = 7m 7
Solve each equation below. a) 3x - 5 = 2x + 12 b) 3x + 8 = 2(x + 4) + x c) 3x + 2 = 2(x - 1) + x -2x x - 5 = x = 17 3x + 8 = 2x x 3x + 8 = 3x x 8 = 8 3x + 2 = 2x x 3x + 2 = 3x x 2 = -2 One Solution Identity x = any real number True ! False ! No Solution
Solve. 4) 4(y - 2) + 6y = 7(y - 8) - 3(10 - y) 4y y = 7y y 10y - 8 = 10y y -8 = -86 False Statement No Solution
Solve. 5) 3(4 + k) - 2(3k + 4) = 5(k - 3) - (8k - 19) k - 6k - 8 = 5k k k + 4 = -3k k 4 = 4 True Statement Infinitely Many Solutions x = any real number
Use a variable equation to solve. 4) Find a number that is 20 more than 4 times its opposite. Let x = the number -x = the opposite x = 4(-x) + 20 x = -4x x 5x = 20 5 x = 4
