Solving Equations with Grouping Symbols
PA Lesson Check 7-1

2. What you will learn!
How to solve equations that involve grouping symbols.
How to identify equations that have no solution or an infinite number of solutions.

3. Vocabulary
Null or Empty set
Identity

4. What you really need to know!
To solve equations with variables on each side, use the Addition or Subtraction Property of Equality to write an equivalent equation with the variable on one side. Then solve the equation.

6. Example 1:
3h = 5(h – 2)
3h = 5h – 10
-2h = -10
h = 5

7. Example 2:
6(b – 2) = 3(b + 8.5)
6b – 12 = 3b
3b – 12 = 25.5
3b = 37.5
b = 12.5

8. Example 3:
The perimeter of a rectangle is 36 inches. Find the dimensions if the length is 2 inches greater than three times the width.

9. The perimeter of a rectangle is 36 inches
The perimeter of a rectangle is 36 inches. Find the dimensions if the length is 2 inches greater than three times the width.
l = 2 + 3w
P = 2l + 2w
36 = 2(2 + 3w) + 2w

10. Example 3:
36 = 2(2 + 3w) + 2w
36 = 4 + 6w + 2w
36 = 4 + 8w
32 = 8w
4 = w

11. The solution set is empty!
Example 4:
4x – 0.3 = 4x + 0.9
4x = 4x + 1.2
0 = 1.2
Does not make sense!
The solution set is empty!

12. Solution set is all numbers!
Example 5:
Solution set is all numbers!
3(4x – 2) + 15 = 12x + 9
12x – = 12x + 9
12x + 9 = 12x + 9
12x =12x
0 = 0
