Simplify First: Using the Distributive Property:
Solve: 5y + 2(y – 3) = 92 Solve: 24=14 (x−8)
Solving Real-Life Problems
You sell medical equipment. You earn a $30,000 salary plus a bonus. Your bonus is 130 of the amount by which your sales exceed $500,000. How much must you sell to earn $40,000?
Suppose the medical equipment company restructured its pay schedule. Now you earn $35,000 plus a bonus of 125 of the amount by which your sales exceed $700,000. How much must you sell to earn $40,000 now?
Distributing Negative Numbers:
Solve: 5 – 3(x – 2) Use the Distributive Property:
Simplify:
Subtracting a number is the same as adding the opposite:
Simplify:
Do this one on your own:
7 - 4 (11 + 3b)
In Exercises 1 and 2, describe the error. Then solve the equation.
In Exercises 3–11, solve the equation. Check your solution.
12. Solve the equation in two ways.a. Use the Distributive Property First. b. Multiply by a reciprocal First. c. Which way do you prefer? Why?
13. Solve the equation in two ways.a. Use the Distributive Property First. b. Multiply by a reciprocal First. c. Which way do you prefer? Why?
14. Write an equation for the area of the rectangle. Then solve for x.
15. Write an equation, solve the equation for x, and find the measures of the angles.
16. A grocer wants to mix x pounds of cashew nuts worth $7.00 per pound with 9 pounds of peanuts worth $3.00 per pound to obtain pounds of mixture worth $5.00 per pound. Use the verbal model and labels to write an equation and find the number of pounds of cashews required to obtain the specified mixture.
