  1. 1.4 – Solving Equations Students will be able to: Solve equations Solve problems by writing equations Lesson Vocabulary Equation Solution to an equation Inverse operations Identity Literal equation

  2. 1.4 – Solving Equations An equation is a statement that two expressions are equal. You can use the properties of equality and inverse operations to solve equations.

  3. 1.4 – Solving Equations Solving an equation that contains a variable means finding all value of the variable that make the equation true. Such a value is a solution of the equation. Inverse operations are operations that “undo” each other.

  4. 1.4 – Solving Equations x = -16 Problem 1: What is the solution to x + 4 = -12? What is the solution to 12b = 18? b = 3/2

  5. 1.4 – Solving Equations y = 6 Problem 2: What is the solution to -27 + 6y = 3(y – 3)? What is the solution to 3(2x – 1) – 2(3x + 4) = 11x? x = -1

  6. 1.4 – Solving Equations Problem 3: “Flower carpets” incorporate hundreds of thousands of brightly-colored flowers as well as grass, tree bark, and sometimes fountains to form intricate designs and motifs. The flower carpet shown here, from Grand Place in Brussels, Belgium, has a perimeter of 200 meters. What are the dimensions of the flower carpet?

  7. 1.4 – Solving Equations Problem 3: Suppose the flower carpet from the previous problem had a perimeter of 320 meters. What would the dimensions of the flower carpet be?

  8. 1.4 – Solving Equations An equation does not always have a solution. An equation has no solution if no value of the variable makes the equation true. An equation that is true for EVERY value of the variable is an identity.

  9. 1.4 – Solving Equations Problem 4: Is the equation always, sometimes, or never true? 11 + 3x – 7 = 6x + 5 – 3x 6x + 5 – 2x = 4 + 4x + 1 NEVER ALWAYS

  10. 1.4 – Solving Equations Problem 4b: Is the equation always, sometimes, or never true? 7x + 6 – 4x = 12 + 3x – 8 2x + 3(x – 4) = 2(2x – 6) + x NEVER ALWAYS

  11. 1.4 – Solving Equations A literal equation is an equation that uses at least two different letters and variables. You can solve a literal equation for any one of its variables by using the properties of equality. What are some literal equations that you know?

  12. 1.4 – Solving Equations Problem 5: The equation relates temperatures in degree Fahrenheit F and degrees Celsius C. What is F in terms of C?

  13. 1.4 – Solving Equations Problem 5: Solve the equation for the indicated variable: Solve for h. Solve for r2

  14. 1.4 – Solving Equations Problem 6: Solve each equation for x:

  15. 1.4 – Solving Equations Problem 6b: Solve each equation for x:
