2. 3-8 Solving Decimal Equations Learn to solve equations involving decimals.

3. 3-8 Solving Decimal Equations You can solve equations with decimals using inverse operations just as you solved equations with whole numbers. $45.20 + m = $69.95 –$45.20 m = $24.75

4. 3-8 Solving Decimal Equations Use inverse operations to get the variable alone on one side of the equation. Remember!

5. 3-8 Solving Decimal Equations Additional Example 1A: Solving One-Step Equations with Decimals Solve the equation. Check your answer. k – 6.2 = 9.5 6.2 is subtracted from k. Add 6.2 to both sides to undo the subtraction. + 6.2 k = 15.7 Check k – 6.2 = 9.5 Substitute 15.7 for k in the equation. 15.7 – 6.2 = 9.5 ? 9.5 = 9.5 ? 15.7 is the solution.

6. 3-8 Solving Decimal Equations Additional Example 1B: Solving One-Step Equations with Decimals Solve the equation. Check your answer. 6k = 7.2 k is multiplied by 6. Divide both sides by 6 to undo the multiplication. k = 1.2 Check 6k = 7.2 Substitute 1.2 for k in the equation. 6(1.2) = 7.2 ? 7.2 = 7.2 ? 1.2 is the solution. 66 6k = 7.2

7. 3-8 Solving Decimal Equations Additional Example 1C: Solving One-Step Equations with Decimals Solve the equation. Check your answer. = 0.6 m is divided by 7. Multiply both sides by 7 to undo the division. m = 4.2 Check Substitute 4.2 for m in the equation. 0.6 = 0.6 ? 4.2 is the solution. · 7 m 7 m 7 = 0.6 m 7 4.2 7 ?

8. 3-8 Solving Decimal Equations Check It Out: Example 1A Solve the equation. Check your answer. n – 3.7 = 8.6 3.7 is subtracted from n. Add 3.7 to both sides to undo the subtraction. + 3.7 n = 12.3 Check n – 3.7 = 8.6 Substitute 12.3 for n in the equation. 12.3 – 3.7 = 8.6 ? 8.6 = 8.6 ? 12.3 is the solution.

9. 3-8 Solving Decimal Equations Check It Out: Example 1B Solve the equation. Check your answer. 7h = 8.4 h is multiplied by 7. Divide both sides by 7 to undo the multiplication. h = 1.2 Check 7h = 8.4 Substitute 1.2 for h in the equation. 7(1.2) = 8.4 ? 8.4 = 8.4 ? 1.2 is the solution. 77 7h = 8.4

10. 3-8 Solving Decimal Equations Check It Out: Example 1C Solve the equation. Check your answer. = 0.3 w is divided by 9. Multiply both sides by 9 to undo the division. w = 2.7 Check Substitute 2.7 for w in the equation. 0.3 = 0.3 ? 2.7 is the solution. · 9 w 9 w 9 = 0.3 w 9 2.7 9 ?

11. 3-8 Solving Decimal Equations The area of a rectangle is its length times its width. A = lw Remember! w l

12. 3-8 Solving Decimal Equations Additional Example 2A: Measurement Application The area of Emily’s floor is 33.75 m 2. If its length is 4.5 meters, what is its width? 33.75 = 4.5w Write the equation for the problem. Let w be the width of the room. Divide both sides by 4.5 to undo the multiplication. 7.5 = w 4.5 33.75 = 4.5 · w area = length · width 33.75 = 4.5w The width of Emily’s floor is 7.5 meters.

13. 3-8 Solving Decimal Equations Additional Example 2B: Measurement Application If carpet costs $23 per square meter, what is the total cost to carpet the floor? Let C be the total cost. Write the equation for the problem. Multiply.C = 776.25 C = 33.75 · 23 total cost = area · cost of carpet per square meter The cost of carpeting the floor is $776.25.

14. 3-8 Solving Decimal Equations Check It Out: Example 2A The area of Yvonne’s bedroom is 181.25 ft 2. If its length is 12.5 feet, what is its width? 181.25 = 12.5w Write the equation for the problem. Let w be the width of the room. Divide both sides by 12.5 to undo the multiplication. 14.5 = w 12.5 181.25 = 12.5 · w area = length · width 181.25 = 12.5w The width of Yvonne’s bedroom is 14.5 feet.

15. 3-8 Solving Decimal Equations Check It Out: Example 2B If carpet costs $4 per square foot, what is the total cost to carpet the bedroom? Let C be the total cost. Write the equation for the problem. Multiply.C = 725 C = 181.25 · 4 total cost = area · cost of carpet per square foot The cost of carpeting the bedroom is $725.
