3. 1/5/2015 6-1 A/D Solve & Write Addition Equations

4. equation- a mathematical statement that 2 expressions are equal Examples: 18 = 10 + 8 144 ÷ 12 = 12 left side right side

5. The goal of solving equations… to get the variable by itself on one side of the equal sign vmlip.wordpress.com

6. Solve 8 = x + 3 Think of this equation as a balanced scale. Whatever you do to one side has to be done to the other to keep it balanced! raggedclothcafe.com

7. 8 = x + 3 Write the equation! -3 = -3 Subtract 3 from each side to “undo” the addition of 5 = x 3 on the right side. Ex. 1 Solve 8 = x + 3 5 = x + 0

8. Then check! 8 = x + 3 8 = 5 + 3 8 = 8

9. r + 1.8 = 2.1 Write the equation! - 1.8 = -1.8 Subtract 1.8 from each side to “undo” the addition of r = 0.3 1.8 on the left side. Ex. 2: Solve r + 1.8 = 2.1 r + 0 = 0.3

10. Then check! r + 1.8 = 2.1 0.3 + 1.8 = 2.1 2.1 = 2.1

11. Ex. 3 Then check!

12. Example 4 Julie and Len went swimming. Julie swam 575 meters. This is 150 more meters than Len swam. Write and solve an addition equation to find the number of meters that Len swam. x + 150 = 575 x = 425 m

13. Exit Ticket: Solve and Check 1) x + 3.6 = 5.31 2) 58 + m = 211 3) 14 = 6 + p 4)n + 12 = 116 5) 1) x = 1.71 2) m = 153 3) 8 = p 4)n = 104 5) 5/8 = j
