2. Solving Two-Step Equations 1/19
Two operations are required to isolate x
Plug and Chug to check your answer

3. Ask five questions about the inequality:
Solving Two Step Equations
1. What is the variable?
2. What is the first operation being done to the variable?
3. What is the inverse operation?
4. What is the second operation being done to the variable?
5. What is the inverse operation?

4. Work Backwards
First—undo any addition or subtraction
Second—undo any multiplication or division

5. Example -2x – 5 = 25 = 30 x = -15 -2(-15) – 5 = 25 30 – 5 = 25 25 = 25
Draw “the road”
Example
Work Backwards
-2x – 5 = 25
Add 5 to both sides
Simplify x
• -2
 -2 -5 +5
-2x
= 30
Divide both sides by -2 -2 -2
Simplify
x = -15
-2(-15) – 5 = 25
Check your answer
Plug and Chug
30 – 5 = 25
25 = 25

8. Solving Multi-Step Equations 1/20
Simplify (use the distributive property to get rid of parenthesis)
Combine like terms
Follow steps to solve a two step equation.

9. Simplify
-3( a + 6)
4(3m – 7)
-8(5r – 2)

10. Combine like terms
3d d + 7
5(9n – 4) n
6k + 3 – 2(k – 1)

11. Solve
8a + 4a = 144
3(n - 2) = 36
-3(2y + 7) = -18

12. Consecutive Integers
Counting by ones---integers (positive and negative whole numbers) that come right after each other.
1, 2, 3
-11, -10, -9
Represented algebraically as
n, n+1, n+2

13. Example
The sum of two consecutive integers is 131
n + (n+1) = 131
The sum of four consecutive integers is -22
n + (n+1) + (n+2) + (n+3) = -22

21. Transforming Formulas 2/8
Manipulating an equation to solve for a specific variable
Use the properties of equality to transform the equations (p 86, 88, 92, 93 in your book)

22. Solve the area formula A = lw for w
Examples
Solve x = y – z for z
Solve the distance formula d = rt for rate
Solve the perimeter formula p = 2l + 2w for w
Solve A = ½ h(a + b) for a

23. Simple and Compound Interest 2/10
Principal
The original amount of money deposited into or borrowed from an account
Simple
Interest
When interest is only calculated on the principal.
Formula
I = prt
Interest = principal x rate x time(years)

24. Example
Find the simple interest after 5 years on a savings account with an initial deposit of $325 and a rate of 2%
I = prt
I is what we are looking for
p is $325
r is 2%
t is 5 years

25. Compound Interest Balance Formula
When interest is only calculated on balance.
Balance
Principal plus interest
Formula
B = p(1 + r)n
Balance = principal x ( 1 + rate) raised to the number of interest periods
