Section 3.1 Solving One-Step Equations
Vocabulary: Inverse Operations:________________________________________________. Equivalent Equations:______________________________________________. To solve an equation, you must _______________________________________. two operations that undo each other equations that have the same solutions isolate the variable on one side of the = sign
Solving and equation using addition or subtraction • 1. 2. 3. Always circle your final answer
How can you check your answers _______________________________________? Does for the equation ? Why Substitute the value back in for the variable Yes, -2 is a solution for the equation
Geometry application: An equilateral triangle has a perimeter of 42 inches. Write and solve an equation to find the length of the side of the triangle. P=42 Each side of the triangle is 14 inches
The inverse operation of multiplication is ______________ The inverse operation of division is _________________ division multiplication
Write and solve an equation to answer the question. • Each household in the United States receives about 676 pieces of junk mail per year. About how many pieces does a household receive per week? • You ate three of the eight pizza slices and you paid $3.30 as your share of the cost. How much did the whole pizza cost? Hint: 52 weeks per year Each household receives about 13 pieces of junk mail per week The whole pizza cost $8.80
