  1. 3.4 Expressions and Equations Goal: • To translate phrases to algebraic expressions (emphasizing grouping symbols) • To solve problems by writing and solving equations

  2. Technique • Underline key phrases and write what they mean underneath • Then put it all together

  3. Key Words: • What words mean addition? • What words mean subtraction? • What words mean multiplication? • What words mean division?

  4. Review: Write an expression that means: 5 more than a number “n” n + 5

  5. Review: Write an expression that means: 9 less than a number “n”

  6. 5 times the sum of a number and 5 5(n + 5) • Words that means a grouping symbol: • “the sum of” • “the difference of” • “the quantity” • “the product of” • “the quotient of” 5 times the quotient of a number and 5

  7. Remember: with less than we write the expression backwards… NOT left to right. 5 times the quantity 3 less than a number. 5(n – 3)

  8. Remember: with less than we write the expression backwards… NOT left to right. 14 less than the product of 3 and a # (3n) - 14

  9. 4 times the quantity 3 greater than a number 4(n + 3)

  10. One-half the difference of a number and 1

  11. Two fewer than the product of 10 and a number

  12. The quarterback completed 8 more than half of the passes he attempted. Let p = the number of passes attempted. Write an expression for the number of passes completed. Completed = 8 more than half of “p”

  13. Word Problems • Read the problem a few times • Underline key phrases and translate the english into math • Write down what you know • Identify what you are trying to find • Translate into an equation • Solve • Check

  14. = c 2 21 Arthur is two years younger than Chan. Arthur is 21. How old is Chan? Let c = the age of Chan. 21 = c - 2 23 = c

  15. The number of salted peanuts in a nut mix is 13 times the number of cashews. There are 52 salted peanuts. How many cashews are there? = Let c = number of cashews 52 = 13 • c 4 = c

  16. Nora divided 315 cans equally among 26 cartons and had 3 cans left over. How many cans were in each carton? Let x = cans per carton (cans per carton)(# cartons) = total cans + 3 26x + 3 = 315

  17. The final exam had three times as many points as the first test, plus a bonus question worth 25 points. The final exam was worth 160 points (including the bonus). How many points was the first test worth? Let x = points on first test Final = 3 times first test plus bonus 160 = 3x + 25

  18. At Max's Restaurant the cost of a child's dinner is $3.00 less than the cost of an adult dinner. You bought four children's dinners and paid $18.00. Find the cost of an adult dinner. “x” Child dinner = x - 3 4 • Child dinner = $18 4(x – 3) = 18
