1.4 Solving Linear Equations
Equation : A statement in which two expressions are equal Solution of an Equation: A number that produces a true statement when substituted for the variable in the equation Vocabulary
To solve an Equation with 1 variable: Isolate the variable by reversing the Order of Operation.
Solve a One-Step Equation Example 1 Isolate the variable on one side of the equation. SOLUTION Solve x – = – 12 = 8x Write original equation. CHECK Substitute 20 for x in the original equation. =8+ 8+ Add 8 to each side. 20 = x Simplify. 12 = Solution checks. – Substitute 20 for x. = ?
Solve a Multi-Step Equation Example 2 Solve 3x3x – – = SOLUTION 3x3x–+612– = Write original equation. Subtract 6 from each side to isolate the variable. x6 = Simplify. –3x3x18– = –3–3 Divide each side by 3. – ANSWER The solution is 6. Check x 6 in the original equation. = -6
Solve an Equation with Variables on Both Sides Example 3 Solve 3p3p – = 5p5p -3p 7 = 2p = 2p 2 4 = p Since you have p terms on both sides of the equation, get rid of the smaller p term
Solve the equation. Check your solution. Checkpoint 7 – = 4 t 1. ANSWER 28– 5n5n1– 9 = 2. ANSWER m2m5– m = 3. 37r7r6– 2r2r = – ANSWER 5 3 – Solve Equations
