  1. 1 – 3Solving Linear Equations Objective: CA 1.0: Students solve equations and inequalities involving absolute value.

  2. An equation is a statement in which the expressions are equal. A linear equation in one variable is an equation that can be written in the form ax = b where a and b are constants and a 0.

  3. A number is a solution of an equation if the statement is true when the number is substituted for the variable. Two equations are equivalent if they have the same solution.

  4. Transformations that produce equivalent equations. Addition Property of Equality:Add the same number to both sides. If a = b then a + c = b + c

  5. Subtraction Property of Equality:Subtract the same number from both sides. If a = b then a – c = b – c. Multiplication Property of Equality:Multiply both sides by the same nonzero number If a = b and c  0, then ac = bc

  6. Division Property of Equality:Divide both sides by the same nonzero number . If a = b and c  0 then

  7. Solving an Equation with one variable Solve: 3 x = 6 7 3 x = 42 x = 14

  8. Solve an Equation with a variable on both sides Solve: 5n + 16 = 7n 16 = 2n 8 = n

  9. Using the distributive property Solve: 12x – 20 = 2x – 16 – 6x 12x – 20 = -4x - 16 16x – 20 = -16 16x = 4 So, x = ¼

  10. Solving an equation with fractions Solve:

  11. Using Linear Equations in Real Life. A real estate broker’s salary is $18,000. She earns 4% commission on total sales. How much did she sell to earn $55,000? Total Income = Base Salary + Commission Rate x Total Sales.
