Lesson 28: Solving Equations with Variables on Both Sides Expressions and Equations
Solving Equations • To solve equations, we can follow these steps: • Distribute (if necessary) • Combine like terms (if necessary) • Apply inverse operations to isolate the variable.
No solution and infinitely many solutions • If there is no value of a variable that makes an equation true, then the equation has no solution. • For equations with no solution, we will end up with an equality that is not true like or something similar. • An identity is an equation that is always true. • These equations have infinitely many solutions. • For equations with infinitely many solutions, we end up with an equality that is true such as or something similar.
Example • Hot Digits phone company charges $18.95 per month for local calls and $0.04 per minute for long distance calls. Cool Callin’ phone company charges $21.95 per month for local calls and $0.02 per minute for long distance calls. For what number of minutes of long distance calls per month is the cost of the plans the same?
