1. Sec 5: Solving complex linear Equations
Homework: Pg 23 #35-40, 57-59
Learning Target: Students will solve complex linear equations and apply them to real-world problems (students can already solve multi-step equations as proven with the pre-test).

2. ACT Question
A rectangular rug has an area of 80 square feet, and its width is exactly 2 feet shorter than its length. What is the length, in feet, of the rug?
A. 8
B. 10
C. 16
D. 18
E. 36

3. Ex 1: Solve for x
3x – 7(2x – 13) = 3(-2x + 9)
X = 64/5 or 12.8

4. Ex 2: Equations with multiple fractions!!!!
*Hint – if you multiply everything by the least common denominator, you can get rid of the fractions!

5. Ex 3: using ratios
The lengths of the sides of a triangle are in the ratio of 3:4:5. The perimeter of the triangle is 18 inches. Find the lengths of the sides.
