One & Two Step Equations Integrated Mathematics
Vocabulary • Equation: A statement that the values of two mathematical expressions are equal • Inverse Operations: Operations that undo one another
Solving a One-Step Equation 1) Separate the Equation • 2) ISOLATE THE VARIABLE: • Should It Stay or Should It Go (Variables on Left/Constants on Right) Examples:
Property of Equality You can add or subtract any number to BOTH sides of an equation and the equation will still hold true.
One-Step Equations with Addition/Subtraction Ex.1) x + 2 = 6 Ex.2) a – 4 = 2
One-Step Equations with Addition/Subtraction Ex.3) 19 = y + 7 Ex.4) z – 7 = 4
One-Step Equations with Addition/Subtraction Try These: 2) y - 2 = 12 1) x + 4 = 10 3) 15 = 23 + r 4) -13 + z = 2
Property of Equality You can multiply or divide BOTH sides of an equation by any number and the equation will still hold true.
We all know that 3 = 3. Does 3(4) = 3? NO! But 3(4) = 3(4). The equation is still true if we multiply both sides by 4. An Easy Example: (don’t copy) • Would you ever put deodorant under just one arm? • Would you ever put nail polish on just one hand? • Would you ever wear just one sock?
One-Step Equations with Multiplication/Division Ex.5) -2x = 8 Ex.6) 3y = 15
One-Step Equations with Multiplication/Division Ex.7) = 5 Ex.8) = 4
The two negatives will cancel each other out. The two fives will cancel each other out. What Do We Do with Negative Fractions? Recall that Solve . Multiply both sides by -5.
One-Step Equations with Multiplication/Division Try These: 3) = 4 1) 25 = 5x 4) - = 24 2) -4x = -12
Two-Step Equations 1) Separate the Equation • 2) Should It Stay or Should It Go • Addition/Subtraction • Multiplication/Division 3) Solve for Variable
Two-Step Equations Ex.9) Solve 5x + 7 = 3
Two-Step Equations Ex.10) Solve + 15 = 45
Two-Step Equations Ex.11) Solve 4 = -6y - 20
Two-Step Equations Ex.12) Solve 11z + 8 = 30
Two-Step Equations Ex.13) Solve 4 = -11 +
Two-Step Equations Ex.14) Solve 20 – c = -9
Two-Step Equations Ex.15) Solve
Two-Step Equations Try These: 4) -32 = 4t - 16 1) 11x + 2 = 35 2) 8 = -22 + 2b 5) – 7 = –4 6) 3) 2 = 5x – 8
