12. Properties of Equality
Reflexive
Transitive
Symmetric
Substitution
Addition
Multiplication

13. Reflexive property of equality*
Definition: For any real number a, a = a.

14. Transitive Property of Equality*
Definition: For all real numbers a, b, and c, if a = b, and b = c, then a = c.
Example:
if x = y and we know that y = 6 then we also know that x = 6.

15. Symmetric Property of Equality*
Definition: For all real numbers a and b, if a = b then b = a.
Example:
if y = 5x + 2 then 5x + 2 = y

16. Substitution Property of Equality*
Definition: If a = b, then a may be replaced by b.
Example:
if x + 5 = 2y + 1 and we know that x = 6, then we can replace x with 6.
6 + 5 = 2y + 1

17. Addition and Subtraction Property of Equality*
Definition: For any real numbers a, b, and ,c if a = b, then a + c = b + c, and a – c = b – c.
What you do to one side of an equality you must do to the other.

18. Multiplication and Division properties of Equality*
Definition: For any real numbers a, b, and c
if a = b, then a * c = b * c, and if c = 0, a / c = b / c.
If 0.1x = 1.1y – 1.6 then
10x + 25 = 110y - 160
What are we multiplying each side by?

19. Properties Examples: 1-3 Skills Practice # 11-14

20. Solve Equations using S.G.I.R*

21. S. G. I. R.
implify the expression. (distribute, simplify fractions and decimals)
roup the variables onto one side (the left) of the equation using ADDITION and SUBTRACTION.
solate the variable. Group all non-variable terms (numbers) to the opposite side (the right side) using ADDITION and SUBTRACTION.
R. emove the coefficient. Once the variable is isolated the last step is to remove the coefficient. DIVIDE both sides by the coefficient, or MULTIPLY both sides by the reciprocal of the coefficient.

22. Simplifying Decimals Steps to simplify decimals:
1. Find the smallest decimal (the decimal that goes out the most places).
2. Multiply both side by 10 times 10 (the number of decimal places of the smallest decimal ) (WHY 10?)
1.1x = 5.22

23. Simplifying Fractions
Steps to simplify fractions:
1. Find the least common multiple of all the denominators on both sides of the equation
2. Multiply both sides of the equation (every term) by the LCM

24. Example 3:One Step Equations**

25. Example 4: Solve Multi-Step Equations**

26. Constants, Variables, Coefficients, and Like Terms*
Constant: Any real number
Example: 5, 6, 3.23, pi
Variable: Letters used to represent numbers that are not known
Example: x, y , z, d, s, t
Coefficient: The numerical factor of a monomial
Example: 4x  4 is the coefficient
Like Terms: Terms that have the same variables to the same powers.

27. No Solution and the Identity*
Identity: An equation that is true for all values of a variable.
Example: 3x + 2 = 3x + 2
No Solution: An equation that can not be solved. There is no value of the variable that will solve the equation.
Example: 3x + 2 = 3x

28. Steps: Solving for an given variable
You use the same steps that you would use to solve an equation to solve for an given variable:
Simplify the Expression
Group the terms with the variable you are solving for onto one side
Isolate the variable: group all other terms on the opposite side
Remove the coefficient…Divide!
NOTE: If there is more than one term with the variable in it then factor (undistribute)

29. Solve for a given variable: Examples
