1 Equations, Formulas, and the Problem-Solving Process 2.1 1.Verify solutions to equations. 2.Use formulas to solve problems.

2 Equation: Two expressions set equal. Solution: A number that makes an equation true when it replaces the variable in the equation. What’s the difference? ExpressionEquation SimplifiedSolved True False

3 To Check a Possible Solution  Replace the variable in the equation with the value.  If the resulting equation is true, the value is a solution.

4 Solutions Is a = 12 a solution? NO Use parentheses!

5 Solutions Is a solution? Yes

6 Determine which of the following is a solution for the equation. a) –5 b) – 1 c) 2 d) 4 2.1

7 Determine which of the following is a solution for the equation. a) –5 b) – 1 c) 2 d) 4 2.1

8 Formula: The distance across a circle through its center. An equation that describes a mathematical relationship. Perimeter:The distance around a figure. Area:The total number of square units that fill a figure. Volume: The total number of cubic units that fill a space. Circumference:The distance around a circle. Radius:The distance from the center of a circle to any point on the circle. Diameter:
