SCRIBBLE PAD EQ: How do you solve every equation in the whole world? A: Inverse operations What does it mean to isolate the variable?
Single-step to Multi-step • What is the inverse of add? • Subtract? • Multiply? • Divide? 4x = 12 x + 4 = 10 = 10 x - 2 = 12
Multi-step • Undo addition and subtraction before multiplication and division. 3x + 3 = 12 + 4 = 12
Writing Activity • On notebook paper or in your Writing Journal, make two columns. • Solve and write each property you use to justify each step.
Writing Activity • On notebook paper or in your Writing Journal, make two columns. • Solve and write each property you use to justify each step.
Special Cases • 4x + 5 = 4x • 2x – 4 = 4x – 4 - 2x
Multi-step • Sometimes you must distribute or combine like terms before solving. 4x – 2 + 3x = 12 -2(x – 4) = -12
What is the answer? Google it if you have access to a phone, laptop, or tablet. 4x – 10 = 4x
Variables on both sides • Your job is to get variables on one side and numbers on the other. • Start with the variables. • 2x + 4 = 4x - 8
You try… • 4x + 3 – 10 = -10x + 21
Multi-step If you have a fraction, you should get rid of it before solving. = 10
Special case How do you solve if you have a fractional coefficient? x = 24
Equations in Biology & Statistics • velocity = distance divided by time • v = d/t • (2) force = mass times acceleration • F = ma • (3) acceleration = change in velocity divided by time • a = Δv/t • (4) momentum = mass times velocity • p = mv • Standard deviation
Solving for a variable • Don’t forget • A = ½ b h Solve for b
