Chapter 3 – Solving Linear Equations Algebra I A - Meeting 14 Homework # 10 – Word Problems pg 152 # 40 To qualify for a lifeguard training course, you have to swim continuously for 500 yards using either the front crawl or the breaststroke. You swim the front crawl at a rate of 45 yards per minute and the breaststroke at a rate of 35 yards per minute. You take 12 minutes to swim the 500 yards. How much time did you spend swimming the front crawl?

5. Chapter 3 – Solving Linear Equations Algebra I A - Meeting 14 Currently, you have $80 and your sister has $145. You decide to save $6 of your allowance each week, while your sister decides to spend her whole allowance plus $7 each week. How long will it be before you have as much money as your sister? Add 7x to each side Your Total Savings + (dollars) Your Sister’s Allowance Spent (dollars per week) Your Sister’s Total Savings - (dollars) Simplify Write Equation 80 + 6(x) = 145 – 7(x) Subtract 80 from each side Write a verbal model. Let x be the Total # of weeks 80 +6x +7x = 145 -7x +7x 80 +13x = 145 80 -80 +13x = 145 -80 It will take 5 weeks for you and your sister to have the same amount of savings. Example # 3 Your Allowance Saved (dollars per week) Total * # of Weeks = (weeks) Total * # of Weeks (weeks) Simplify Divide 13 from each side 13x = 65 13x/13 = 65/13 Simplify x = 5 Section 3.4 – Solve Equations with Variables on Both Sides

6. Chapter 3 – Solving Linear Equations Algebra I A - Meeting 14 Example # 4 Solve the equation. If possible : Original equation. Subtract 5x from each side Simplify Distributive Property a) The equation has no solution, because the statement -6 = -5 is not true. Original equation. Subtract 5x from each side Simplify Distributive Property b) The statement 6x+8 = 6x+8 is true for all values of x. So, the equation is an identity, and the solution is all real numbers.
