1.4 Solving Equations

Honors Algebra II

Goals:

~Solving Equations

~Solving Word Problems with Equations

Properties of EqualityLet a, b, and c represent real numbers.

Solve each of the following:

1.) 2x – 7 = 2 – 3(2x – 5)

2.) 3 + 2(3n – 5) = 2n – 3(1 – 2n)

3.) x + 2[3 – 5(1 – x)] = 3(x – 3) + 5

4.) 11 + 3x – 7 = 6x + 5 – 3x

5.) 6x + 5 – 2x = 4 + 4x + 1

Literal Equations

• Equations with multiple variables

• Solve for one given variable.

Literal EquationsSolve each for the variable given.

1.) I = PRT for R

2.) bx – cx = -c for x

3.) C= 5 (F – 32) for F
