1. 8.5 Solving Equation with Variables on Each Side

2. X Finds His Value http://youtu.be/J2TYyUftI8k

3. 1)Collect like terms 2)Move variables to same side of equation. (using the Add/ sub prop of =) 3)Move the constant to the opposite side of the equation (using the Add/ sub prop of =) 4)Solve for x (using the Mult/div prop of =) Steps to solve multi-step linear equations

4. 2x – 2 = -3x + 3 5x – 2 = + 3 + 3x Example 1:

5. Example 2:

6. 6m +5 – 2m = 10 – 3m +16 +3m 4m +5 = 26 – 3m 7m +5 = 26-5 7m = 21 m =3 Example 3:

7. Example 4: -2.2 +0.3z = 3- 0.5z -0.8z -2.2 +0.3z = 3 - 0.5z - 0.8z -2.2 + 0.3z = 3 – 1.3z +1.3z -2.2 +1.6z=3 +2.2 1.6z=5.2 1.6 z=3.25

8. Example 5:

9. Netflix charges a yearly membership fee of $50 plus $1.99 per DVD rental. The Blockbuster store has no membership fee and charges $3.99 per DVD rental. Write an equation and solve to find the number of DVD’s for which the cost of each would be the same. # of DVD’s = x Netflix: 50 + 1.99x Blockbuster: 3.99 x
