1. Do Now Solve. 1. - 3x + 5 = 202.V = lwh if l = 4, w = 2, and h = 6 Evaluate.

2. Solving Equations for a Given Term What if we were asked to solve the following equation for x? 4x + 9y = 11 a. divide by 4 b. subtract 4x c. divide by 9 d. subtract 9y What is the first step to get x all by itself? Submit Answer

3. 4x + 9y = 11 Inquiry  Remember to self-question.  Develop a plan.  Will the mapping strategy work on this equation?

4. For the equation to remain balanced, remember the golden rule: Let’s solve together: Assess the situation. Remember to self-question.  Where are the variables?  What variable do we want to isolate?  What do we have to move? What we do to one side, we must do to the other. 4x + 9y = 11

5. Let’s solve together. 4x + 9y = 11 1. Draw a line through the equal sign. 2. Subtract 9y from both sides. - 9y = - 9y 3. Simplify vertically. 4x = 11 – 9y 4. Divide both sides by 4. 5. Simplify vertically. 4 x = 11 – 9y 4 6. Can we simplify? This fraction cannot be simplified. Both terms in the numerator are not divisible by the denominator.

6. Checkpoint!! What if we were asked to solve the following equation for y? 4x + 9y = 11 a. divide by 4 b. subtract 4x c. divide by 9 d. subtract 9y What is the first step to get y all by itself? Submit Answer

7. Let’s solve together. 4x + 9y = 11 1. Draw a line through the equal sign. 2. Subtract 4x from both sides. - 4x = - 4x 3. Simplify vertically. 9y = 11 – 4x 4. Divide both sides by 9. 5. Simplify vertically. 9 y = 11 – 4x 9 6. Can we simplify? This fraction cannot be simplified. Both terms in the numerator are not divisible by the denominator.

8. 6x + 2y = - 36 1. Draw a line through the equal sign. 2. Subtract 6x from both sides. - 6x = - 6x 3. Simplify vertically. 2y = - 36 – 6x 4. Divide both sides by 2. 5. Simplify vertically. 2 y = - 36 – 6x 2 6. Can we simplify? This fraction can be simplified. Both terms in the numerator are divisible by the denominator. Let’s try another. Solve for y. y = - 18 – 3x y = - 3x – 18 Can be rewritten as:

9. y = - 24x – 48 - 3 Checkpoint!! Can the following equation be simplified? If so, provide the simplified form.

10. Now you try!! Solve. - 21x – 3y = - 63 Don’t forget to simplify if possible.
