  1. How do you solve for x in the following equation? ax + 2 = 5

  2. In this lesson you will learn how to solve equations where some of the coefficients are represented by letters by using additive and multiplicative inverses.

  3. constants variable 3x + 2 = 8 -2 -2 1 1 3 3 3x = 6 x x x = 2

  4. variables y = mx + b parameters

  5. constants parameter variable ax + 3 = 7 -3 -3 ax = 4 1 1 xx a a 4 x = a a x + 3 = 7

  6. Mistaking your variables for your constants. Make sure you know which letters represent variables.

  7. In this lesson you have learned how to solve equations that have parameters by using additive and multiplicative inverses.

  8. Solve the following equation for x: 3x + b = 4

  9. Solve the following equations for x by using inverse operations. What does your answer mean? Why did you get that answer? What situations will provide an answer like that? a(2x + 4) = 2a(x + 2) 3(2ax + 1) = 6(ax + 4)

  10. Solve the following equation for x: 4 - ax = 12 Solve the following equation for x: 3x + 8 = b
