Objectives Simplify expressions using Distributive Property. Combine like terms. Solve equations using inverse operation and Properties of Equality.
Solve Multi-Step Equations Equations that are more complex may have to be simplified before they can be solved. More than two steps may be required to solve them. –Step 1: If there are like terms on one side of an equation, combine them first. –Step 2: Then apply inverse operations and the properties of equality to finish solving the equation.
Example 1 Combining Like Terms Solve. 5x + 8 – 3x + 2 = 20
Lesson Practice Solve. 3x + 2 – x + 7 = 16
Solve Multi-Step Equations Complex equation can contain symbols of inclusion. To eliminate the symbols of inclusion we must: –Step 1: Use the Distributive Property –Step 2: Combine like terms on each side of the equation. –Step 3: Apply inverse operations and the properties of equality to finish solving the equation.
Example 2 Using Distributive Property Solve x + 3(2x + 4) = 47
Lesson Practice Solve 6(x – 1) = 36
Lesson Practice Solve 5x – 3(x – 4) = 22
Example 3 Simplifying before Solving Solve 5x – (x – 3) – 1 = 18
Lesson Practice Solve 2x + (x – 2) + 4 = 17
Example 4 Application: Landscaping Jim is building a right triangular flower bed. One of the acute angles will measure twice the other acute angle. What are the measures of the two acute angles?
Lesson Practice Juan is building a triangular shelf. He wants one angle to be right angle and the other two angles to have the same measure. What are the measures of the angles.
