3.1 Addition Property of Equality (APE) • Goals: To use the APE to solve equations and word problems
The Addition Property of Equalityif a = b, then a + c = b + c
To solve for “x”x – 8 = 11 • Goal: get “x” alone on one side of the equation. • Do the opposite of whatever is keeping “x” from being all by itself. x – 8 + 8 = 11 + 8 x = 19
- 7 - 7 x = -5 Show your work exactly like this: x + 7 = 2 Write the problem: Add same number to both sides of “=“: Write answer with box around it
y - 8 = -3 +8+8 y = 5
a - 5 = -2 +5+5 a = 3
19 = k + 7 -7-7 12 = k
a + 1.5 = 3 -1.5-1.5 a = 1.5
A number is increased by 36 is 15. Find the number. Let x = the original number. x + 36 = 15 - 36 - 36 x = -21
A number decreased by 83 is 46. Find the number. Let x = the original number. x - 83 = 46 +83 +83 x = 129
The weekly rent on an apartment was increased by $82. The new rental cost is $675. What is the previous rent? Let x = the previous rent. x + 82 = 675 - 82 - 82 x = 593
