Multi-Step equations with fractions and decimals Lesson 7-3 p.345
Multi-step equations • We have added to the level of difficulty by solving equations with 2 steps, by combining like terms first, and by using the distributive property. • Now we increase the difficulty again by solving equations with fractions and decimals.
Example • For example: Our steps are the same in this problem. First we add six to both sides, then we multiply both sides by 3/2 and then solve. Let’s try it.
Let’s try +6 +6
Another example • Sometimes we have to distribute the fraction like this:
Try This • 1.2n + 3.4 = 10 • (a + 6) = 2
Try This • 1.2n + 3.4 = 10 n = 5.5 • (a + 6) = 2
Try This • 1.2n + 3.4 = 10 n = 5.5 • (a + 6) = 2 a = -5/2
Another example First add 8 to both sides +8 +8 Next multiply both sides by 2 (2) (2) Subtract 14 from both sides and solve. -14 -14 N = 22
Try This X = 38
Try This X = -38 R = 97
Clear the equation of fractions • Multiply each side by the LCM to get rid of the fraction or fractions. • Study example #3 on p.346
