Lesson: Solving Linear Equations. What is Linear Equation? Linear equation is an equation that generates a straight line when plotted on a graph paper: X

Slide 4

Michigan Curriculum Standard: Michigan Curriculum Standard: Standard V.1: Operations and their Properties. Students understand and use various types of operations (e.g., addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) to solve problems. Standard V.2: Algebraic and Analytic Thinking. Students analyze problems to determine the appropriate process for solution, and use algebraic notations to model or represent problems. X

Slide 5

ISTE Standard: ISTE Standard: Standard 4 Critical thinking, problem solving, and decision making. Students use critical thinking skills to plan and conduct research, manage projects, solve problems, and make informed decisions using appropriate digital tools and resources. X

Classroom Set Up Classroom Set Up This lesson is design for a diverse classroom with students of various learning styles. Students can work in groups or as individuals. X

Slide 8

Objective: Objective: By the end of this lesson students will be able to solve One-step, Two- Step, and Multi- Step Linear Equations. X

Slide 9

Procedure: Procedure: Solving linear equation is like balancing the scale: Place all letters on the left arm of the scale and all numbers on the right arm of the scale as shown. The equal sign is the pivot of the scale. Add and subtract numbers and letters on both sides of the scale to balance the equation. X = 2, -25 -15, 45 x, y, n,

Slide 10

Examples: Examples: Solve the following equations: Ex 1. 6x = 12 EX 2. 5x + 2 = 3x + 10 EX 3. 4(y 2) = 2(y + 4) X

Slide 11

Example 1: 6x = 12 Example 1: 6x = 12 This is One-Step Equation. Step: Divide both sides of the equation by 6; then simplify by cancelling the denominators and numerators on both sides of the equation: 6x = 12 6 Answer: x = 2 X

Slide 12

Example 2: 5x + 2 = 3x + 10 This is Two-Step-Equation. Step 1: Move all letters to the left side of the equal sign and all numbers the right side of the equal sign as shown: 5x 3x = 10 2 2x = 8 Step2: Divide both sides by 2: 2x/2 = 8/2 x = 4 X

Slide 13

Example 3: 4(y 2) = 2(y + 4) This is Multi-Step-Equation. Step 1 Apply distributive property by multiplying numbers in the parenthesis as shown: 4(y 2) = 2(y + 4) 4y 8 = 2y + 8 Now, bring like terms together by balancing the equation: X

Slide 14

Step 2 Step 2 We balance the equation by Adding and subtracting on both sides of the equation as shown: 4y 8 = 2y + 8 2y +8 = 2y + 8 2y 0 = 0 16 We have: 2y = 16 X

Slide 15

Step 3 Step 3 Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of ''y'': The coefficient is always the number in front of the letter; we have: 2y = 16 2 Answer: y = 8 X
