Any Questions on the Homework? Are we ok with solving complex equations?
P.3 part 2 Solving linear equations with fractions
Objective Students can balance an equation with a single variable on both sides of an equation Students can solve linear equations and inequalities with fractions in them Language objective- students can explain the differences and similarities between solving an equation with an inequality and a normal equality equation.
Balancing an equation Our goal is to move all the unknowns to one side and all the numbers which are by themselves to the other. For Example 3x + 5 = 4x + 9 *Hint: try to keep the unknowns positive (in the above case move the 3 over instead of the 4 so we get 1x instead of -1x )
Another Example 3(x+2) = 4(x-3) Expand 1 st then balance both sides.
In teams work on #24-31
