13. Try it! Academic class: • Page 8 #1 – 23 (odd numbered questions only), #25 with a partner • Page 9 #1 – 5 • Extra time: Page 2 Applied class: Geometry (page 5 – 7) • Page 8 #2 – 6

14. Geometry The length of a rectangular field is 3 times longer than the width, w. • Write an algebraic expression for the length, l. • Write an algebraic expression for the perimeter of the field (length of a fence around the field) • Write an algebraic expression for the area of the field

15. Rearranging Equations

16. z 2y x What might this represent?

17. z 2y x Example: x + z = 2y

18. z 2y x x = …

19. z 2y x x = 2y – z

20. z 2y x y = …

21. z 2y x + z 2 x y =

22. 3z = z = 2y 3z 2x y = 2y =

23. 3z = 2x + 2y z = 2y 3z 2x y = 2y =

24. 3z = 2x + 2y z = (2x + 2y) 3 2y 3z 2x y = 2y =

25. z = (2x + 2y) 3 3z = 2x + 2y 2y 3z 2x y = 2y = 3z – 2x

26. z = (2x + 2y) 3 3z = 2x + 2y 2y 3z 2x y = (3z – 2x) 2 2y = 3z – 2x

27. 2y = 3x + 4z Draw this!

28. 3x – z = 2y Draw this!

29. 3x – z = 2y Solve for 3x!

30. 3x – z = 2y Solve for x!

31. True or False? z = x + 2y + g3 x + 2y = 3z - g

32. Rearranging Equations Activity • In teams of two: • Cut out each of the equations and representative bars. • Glue 4 coloured bar graphs to a sheet of cardstock, leaving space underneath each. • Figure out which equations describe the bar graphs. Glue these underneath the correct graph. • Write one new equation using each each bar graph solving for a different variable.
