Solving Two-Step Equations 1/19

Two-StepEquations

Two operations are required to isolate x

Plug and Chug to check your answer

1. What is the variable?

Ask five questions about the inequality:

2. What is the first operation being done to the variable?

3. What is the inverse operation?

Solving Two Step Equations

4. What is the second operation being done to the variable?

5. What is the inverse operation?

Work Backwards

First—undo any addition or subtraction

Second—undo any multiplication or division

Example

+ 5 + 5

x = -15

Draw “the road”

Add 5 to both sidesSimplify

Divide both sides by -2Simplify

Check your answerPlug and Chug30 – 5 = 25

25 = 25

1. x

2. • -2

3. -2

4. -5

5. +5

Work Backwards

= 30

-2x – 5 = 25

-2x-2 -2

-2(-15) – 5 = 25

Solving Multi-Step Equations 1/20

Multi-StepEquations

Simplify (use the distributive property to get rid of parenthesis)

Follow steps to solve a two step equation.

Combine like terms

Simplify -3( a + 6)

4(3m – 7)

-8(5r – 2)

Combine like terms

3d + 4 -12d + 7

5(9n – 4) -15 + 7n

6k + 3 – 2(k – 1)

Solve 8a + 4a = 144

3(n - 2) = 36

-3(2y + 7) = -18

Consecutive Integers

Counting by ones---integers (positive and negative whole numbers) that come right after each other.

1, 2, 3-11, -10, -9

Represented algebraically asn, n+1, n+2

Example The sum of two consecutive integers is 131

n + (n+1) = 131

The sum of four consecutive integers is -22

n + (n+1) + (n+2) + (n+3) = -22

Transforming Formulas 2/8

Manipulating an equation to solve for a specific variable

Transforming Formulas

Use the properties of equality to transform the equations (p 86, 88, 92, 93 in your book)

Solve the area formula A = lw for w

Solve the distance formula d = rt for rate

Solve the perimeter formula p = 2l + 2w for w

Solve A = ½ h(a + b) for a

Solve x = y – z for z

Examples

Simple and Compound Interest 2/10

The original amount of money deposited into or borrowed from an account

When interest is only calculated on the principal.

Principal

SimpleInterest

Formula I = prtInterest = principal x rate x time(years)

Example Find the simple interest after 5 years on a savings account with an initial deposit of $325 and a rate of 2%

I = prtI is what we are looking forp is $325r is 2% t is 5 years

When interest is only calculated on balance.

CompoundInterest

Formula B = p(1 + r)n

Balance = principal x ( 1 + rate) raised to the number of interest periods

Balance Principal plus interest
