Let’s look at a problem. 5 = 5 +3 8 = 5 +3 8 = 8 What can be done to fix it, do not change the left side.
b 7 = 7 - 2 7 = 5 What can be done to fix it, do not change the right side. - 2 5 = 5
a 6 = 6 x 4 24 = 6 What can be done to fix it, do not change the left side. x 4 24 = 24
35 = 35 ÷ 5 35 = 7 What can be done to fix it, do not change the right side. ÷ 5 7 = 7
a = a - b a - b = a What can be done to fix it, do not change the left side. - b a - b = a - b
What was the point? Whatever you do to one side of an equation you MUSTdo to the other!
Solving an Equation with a Variable on Both Sides Remember to move all variables to one side, constants to the other. 13y + 48 = 8y - 47 -8y-8y subtract 8y from each side 5y + 48 = - 47 - 48- 48 subtract 48 from each side 5y = -95 ÷5 ÷5 divide each side by 5 y = -19
Using the Distributive Property Remember that everything in the parenthesis gets what is being multiplied on the outside. 3x – 7(2x – 13) = 3(-2x + 9) 3x – 14x + 91 = -6x + 27 -11x + 91 = -6x + 27 64 = 5x 12.8 = x

Solving a Formula for One of its Variables Solve the formula for the area of a trapezoid for h. Multiply both sides by 2. Divide each side by b1+b2
Solving an Equation for One of its Variables Solve for x and find any restrictions on a and b. Multiply by the LCD (ab) Gather like terms “un-distribute” the x Divide by (a-b) Now find restrictions What is the LCD of this equation?
Restrictions on a and b What number can the denominator NOT be? Zero If the denominator is a-b, a-b ≠ 0 When stating restrictions we name only one variable on each side of the ≠ a – b ≠ 0 + b + b a ≠ b This means the restriction is: a ≠ b

3 5 w = 13 Divide each side by 5. Relate: 2 • width + length = perimeter Define: Let w = the width. Then 3w = the length. Write: 2 w + 3w = 68 4 5 3w = 40 Find the length. 3 5 4 5 The width is 13 ft and the length is 40 ft. Solving Equations Adrian will use part of a garage wall as one of the long sides of a rectangular rabbit pen. He wants the pen to be 3 times as long as it is wide. He plans to use 68 ft of fencing. Find the dimensions of the pen. 5w = 68 Add. Check: Is the answer reasonable? Since the dimensions are about 14 ft by 41 ft and 14 + 14 + 41 = 69, the perimeter is about 69 ft. The answer is reasonable.
Try this problem A rectangle is twice as long as it is wide. Its perimeter is 48 cm. Find its dimensions. 2w = l 48 = 2(2w) + 2w 48 = 4w + 2w 48 = 6w 8 = w So the length is 16 and the width is 8.
Relate: Perimeter equals the sum of the lengths of the four sides. Define: Let x = the length of the shortest side. Then 2x = the length of the second side. Then 3x = the length of the third side. Then 6x = the length of the fourth side. Solving Equations The sides of a quadrilateral are in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3 : 6. The perimeter is 138 cm. Find the lengths of the sides. Write: 138 = x + 2x + 3x + 6x 138 = 12xCombine like terms. 11.5 = x 2x = 2(11.5) 3x = 3(11.5)6x = 6(11.5)Find the length of= 23 = 34.5 = 69 each side. Check: Is the answer reasonable? Since 12 + 23 + 35 + 69 = 139, the answer is reasonable. The lengths of the sides are 11.5 cm, 23 cm, 34.5 cm, and 69 cm.
Try This Problem The sides of a triangle are in the ratio 12:13:15. The perimeter is 120 cm. Find the lengths of the sides of the triangle. 12x + 13x + 15x = 120 40x = 120 x = 3 12(3) = 36 13(3) = 39 15(3) = 45 Check that the answer makes sense (36 + 39 + 45 = 120) The sides of the triangle measure 36 cm, 39 cm, and 45cm.
Consecutive Number Problems • Remember that consecutive means in order:1,2,3,… so x, x+1,x+2 • Consecutive odds/evens means:x, x+2, x+4,…. • Usually the problems state that the numbers are integers….this means we don’t need to worry about decimals and fractions
Solving Equations Find three consecutive integers that add to 90. Let x be the first integer. x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 90 3x + 3 = 90 3x = 87 x = 29 So the integers are 29, 30 and 31.
Try This Problem The sum of four consecutive integers is 298. What are the numbers? x + (x+1) + (x +2) + (x + 3) = 298 4x + 6 = 298 4x = 292 x = 73 So the integers are 73, 74, 75, and 76.
Rate, Time, Distance Problems • If the word problem involves transportation (cars, busses, planes, bicycles, canoes, etc…) it will probably involve rate, time and distance. • rate x time = distance (rt = d)
1225 6 50t = Solve for t. 1 12 t = 4 h or about 4 h 5 min Relate: distance first plane travels = distance second plane travels. Define: Let t = the time in hours for the second plane. Then t + = the time in hours for the first plane. 35 60 Write: 400t = 350 (t + ) 7 12 1225 6 400t = 350t + Distributive Property 2 3 Solving Equations A plane takes off from an airport and flies east at a speed of 350 mi/h. Thirty-five minutes later, a second plane takes off from the same airport and flies east at a higher altitude at a speed of 400 mi/h. How long does it take the second plane to overtake the first plane? Check: Is the answer reasonable? In 4 h, the second plane travels 1600 mi. In 4 h, the first plane travels about 1600 mi. The answer is reasonable.
