  1. Equations: Linear and Systems

  2. Overview Solving Linear Equations for a given variable Finding and using the Equation of a Line Solving and using Systems of Linear Equations *You will be able to navigate easily to the topics of interest by clicking on the links on each page. *The icon of a house in the upper right-hand corner of each page will return you to this page. *If you click on the title of any page, that will return you to that particular sub-topic of the module. In this module you will be learning 3 topics all involving linear equations. Linear Equations are equations with one or more variables whose power is of degree one. If the degree of any of the variables is not of degree one, then it is not a linear equation. Three Topics:

  3. Solving Linear Equations Writing Equations Using Application Problems Solving Equations by Using Addition and Subtraction Solving Equations by Using Multiplication and Division Solving Equations Using Algebra Tiles Solving Multi-Step Equations Solving Equations with the Variable on Each Side Application Problems

  4. Writing Equations First, we need to be able to translate our words in mathematical problems. Here are basic terms which determine which mathematical operations to use.

  5. Writing Equations - Example You want to purchase an iPod and you know that it costs about $160. You have $60 dollars saved all ready. Your dad tells you that he will pay you $20 each week for mowing the grass. How long will it take you to earn the additional money? 1st- You know that you have $60 all ready. As a result, you need to earn $160-$60 = $100.

  6. Writing Equations-continued • 2nd- You will earn $20 each week and you need to earn $100. • Let x = the number of weeks you need to mow the lawn • $20 x = 100 • Let’s find what number you have to multiply 20 by to get to 100? • X = 5 • It will take you 5 weeks to earn the $100 which are left to purchase the iPod. • Lets check your answer: $160 - $60 = $100 left to earn • $20 ( 5) = $100 • $100 + $60 = $160.

  7. Writing Equations-continued Click on the link below to practice writing equations. The beginning of the link will provide you with examples. If you continue to scroll down, you will be able to work with 5 problems by clicking on your answer choice and the computer will give you immediate feedback as to whether your choice is correct or not. http://www.mathgoodies.com/lessons/vol7/equations.html

  8. Solving Equations by Addition and Subtraction When we balance equations, we have to remember to share the same amount with both sides. This is done by using the Addition and Subtraction Properties of Equality. x + 11= 15 x+11 -11 = 15 – 11 Subtract 11 from both sides so that the variable is the only term on the left side of the equal sign x + 0 = 4 “x” plus 0 is equal to “ x” x = 4 Simplify

  9. Solving Equations by Addition and Subtraction-continued To practice solving equations using addition and subtraction problems, open the below link. Once you click on the link, the first thing you will see is an example. If you scroll down you will see two choices; one choice is to review more examples and the second choice is for you to test yourself by working similar problems. http://www.sosmath.com/algebra/solve/solve1/s11/s11.html

  10. Solving Equations by Using Multiplication and Division Review: 5x=20 therefore x has to be 4 because we know that 5(4) = 20. If we did not know that 5(4)=20, using 20 and 5 which operation would we have to perform to get 4? We would have to divide 20 by 5. As a result, division will undo multiplication and multiplication will undo division. These are called the Multlipication and the Division Properties of Equalities. Let’s apply this concept to solving equations.

  11. Solving Equations by Using Multiplication and Division-continued Solve: -13 x = 52 -13 x = 52 Divide both sides by -13 because -13 -13 division will undo multiplication X = - 4 Let’s check to see if this is correct. -13(-4) = 52 therefore x = -4.

  12. Solving Equations by Using Multiplication and Division-continued • Solve • -5h = -2/3 • -5h = -2/3 Divide both sides by -5 • h= -2/3 (-1/5) Divide fractions by multiplying by its reciprocal • h=2/15 Check: -5(2/15) =-10/15= -2/3 Let’s solve -5h = -2/3 by multiplying each side of this equation by the reciprocal of h’s coefficient. The reciprocal of -5 is -1/5 therefore: -1/5 (-5h) = -1/5 (-2/3) Recall the product of a number and it’s h= 2/15 reciprocal is equal to 1.

  13. Solving Equations by Using Multiplication and Division-continued To practice solving equations using multiplication and division problems, open the below link. There are four steps once you click on the link. The first step will show you how to balance the equation. Step 2 will give you an in-depth explanation of how to solve equations. Step 3 will show you 5 additional examples. Step 4 will allow you to practice solving equations. http://www.math.com/school/subject2/lessons/S2U3L3GL.html

  14. Solving Equations Using Algebra Tiles This link includes a video tutorial of how to use algebra tiles to solve equations. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpnzNmw1Mg8

  15. Solving Multi-Step Equations There are several steps you will need to follow to solve multi-step equations. Think of using these steps as you would use the order of operations. Step 1: Use the Distributive Property to remove the grouping symbols. Step 2: Simplify the expressions on each side of the equal sign by combining like terms. Step 3: Combine like terms on different sides of the equal sign to get all the variables on the same side and all the numbers without variables on the other side together. Use what you learned in the first section for solving addition and subtraction equations. ( The addition and/or the subtraction properties of equality.) Step 4: Simplify each expression on each side of the equal sign. Step 5: Use what you learned in the second section for solving multiplication and division equalities. (The multiplication and /or the division property of equality.)

  16. Solving Equations with the Variable on Each Side The key is to combine like terms by using the previous strategies you learned from solving equations. Solve for f.-16f – 2 = -15f + 17-f – 2 = 17 Add 15f to both sides-f = 19 Add 2 to both sidesf = -19 Multiply both sides by -1
