Relate: The width is 3 in. less than the length. 3-6

  47. 26 = 2x + 2x – 6Use the Distributive Property. 26 = 4x – 6Combine like terms. 26 + 6 = 4x – 6 + 6Add 6 to each side. 32 = 4x Simplify. = Divide each side by 4. 324 4x4 8 = x Simplify. Equations and Problem Solving ALGEBRA 1 LESSON 3-6 (continued) The width of the rectangle is 3 in. less than the length, which is 8 in. So the width of the rectangle is 5 in. Quick Check 3-6

  48. Define: Let x = the first integer. Then x + 1 = the second integer, and x + 2 = the third integer. Write: x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 72 Equations and Problem Solving ALGEBRA 1 LESSON 3-6 The sum of three consecutive integers is 72. Find the integers. Relate: first plus second plus third is 72 integer integer integer 3-6

  49. 3x + 3 – 3 = 72 – 3Subtract 3 from each side. 3x = 69 Simplify. 3x3 693 = Divide each side by 3. x = 23 Simplify. Equations and Problem Solving ALGEBRA 1 LESSON 3-6 (continued) x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 72 3x+ 3 = 72 Combine like terms. If x = 23, then x + 1 = 24, and x + 2 = 25. The three integers are 23, 24, and 25. Quick Check 3-6

  50. Define: Let t = the time the airplane travels. Then t – 1 = the time the jet travels. Aircraft Rate Time Distance Traveled Airplane 180 t 180t Jet 330 t – 1 330(t – 1) Equations and Problem Solving ALGEBRA 1 LESSON 3-6 An airplane left an airport flying at 180 mi/h. A jet that flies at 330 mi/h left 1 hour later. The jet follows the same route as the airplane at a different altitude. How many hours will it take the jet to catch up with the airplane? 3-6
