1. Warm up

2. Review of Solving Equations

3. Absolute value equations
Isolate the absolute value
Set up 2 equations
Solve both equations
Remember that absolute value equations cannot be set equal to a negative value for example

5. Multi Step Equations
Variables on both sides of the equation
Steps:
1st – distribute
2nd – combine like terms
3rd – get variables on 1 side and numbers on the other side by adding or subtracting
4th – multiply or divide
5th – check your answer

6. -3 + 3b – = -5b – 2b
3b + 0 = -7b
-3b b
0 = -10b
0 = b

7. Steps for Solving Equations with Parentheses
Step 1: Distribute
Step 2: Combine Like Terms
Step 3: Move Variable to 1 Side
Step 4: Undo + or –
Step 5: Undo × or ÷
3(2x + 5) + 1 = x - 9

8. To solve a proportion: Follow these easy Steps: Cross multiply
Solve the one-step equation for the variable.
3(21) = 4(x)
63 = 4x
63 = 4X
X = 63/4

9. To solve radical equations
Isolate the radical (if you have two radicals put one on each side of the equation
Square both sides
Solve for the variable

10. Let’s TRY one more…

11. Rational Equations
Use the LCM to multiple every term in the equation.
