Solving equations

• The next slides will display various equations that you need to solve.

• Each equation requires different strategies. Please take careful notes on how each equation is solved… make your notes as general as possible.

Consider

• Solve the equation using any method.• Check to see if your solution is correct; use a

different method.

Consider

1) Undo each operation.

2)Check answer:

Page 222, problem 5-3solve for x

Method 1: undo operations

Method 2: multiply both sides by common denominator, then simplify and solve.

Page 222, problem 5-3Method 1: undo operations

Subtract 1/3 from both sides

multiply both sides by 4

add 5 to both sides.Check your answer.

Method 2: multiply both sides by common denominator, then simplify and solve.

combine like terms

Undoing the absolute valueSolve for x: |x|=4

Therefore Absolute value function, similar to the quadratic function, will have two answers.

Now solve each linear equations:

Check your answer.

Page 222 5-4 b

1) Solve the linear equation:

2) Check your answer.

Page 222 5-4 c

Add 2 to both sides.

It is not possible to raise a number to power of 2 and get a negative answer, therefore this problem has no solution.
