Linear EquationsIn 1 and 2 Variables
Use your book glossary to find the definitions
1. EQUATION:
2. LINEAR EQUATION: an equation with exponent of 1 (in 1 variable)
(in 2 variables)
3. INDEPENDENT VARIABLE:
4. DEPENDENT VARIABLE:
A statement of equality between 2 quantities
5. IDENTITY: One side of equal sign is the same as the other. All values of the variable produce a true statement.
6. CONDITIONAL: Equation that is true for only certain
values of the variable.
For the following, decide whether the equation is an identity or conditional and write the answer on the line.
a. x + 2 = 7(can x be anything? Or just one thing?)
b. x – 3 = y(can x be anything? Can y be anything? Or just one
thing?)

c. ab = ba
d. P = 2l + 2w
e. 2(x + 4) = 2x + 8
f. 4r – 1r = 3r

Translate the following into equations. Let x be the number.
a.One fourth of a number is 24.
b.A number multiplied by 3 and then added to 6 gets 15.
c.The difference between fourteen and twice a number is
negative 8.
(1/4)x = 24
6 + 3x = 15
14 – 2x = -8
For the following, translate the algebraic equation into an English sentence. Can you think of another way to write the same thing?
x – 2 = -4
9x = 72
2 less than a number is negative four.
Nine times a number is 72.
For the following, define the variables and find the equation
a.The cost of renting a car at $35 flat fee and $0.11 per mile.
b.The total cost of an item bought in Michigan; including tax.
x = number of miles y = cost or renting a car y = 35 + 0.11x
x = ticket cost of an item y = total cost of itemy = x + 0.06x
The next set of sentences contains a phrase that describes a need for grouping symbols. Underline the phrase and then write the equation.
a. Five times the difference between nine and a number is –35.
b. The four times the sum of a number and 5 is 24.
c. The total cost of an air-compressor is $5 for the first day plus $30 for each additional day.
5(9 – x) = -35
4(x + 5) = 24
y = 5 + 30(x – 1)* x= number of days
Birthday Party Exploration
Emma wants to have her birthday party at Valley Bowling Alley. Her mother can rent a party room, let the kids rent shoes and play 3 games for $20 plus $10 per child.
Estimate the total cost if 5 of Emma’s friends come to her party.Estimate the total cost if 15 friends come to Emma’s party. (she must be a very popular girl!)
Explain how you found the costs in #1 and 2.
Write an equation representing the total costs of Emma’s birthday party at Valley Bowling Alley. Let t = the total cost of the bowling alley party (excluding cake, decorations…) and let n = the number of Emma’s friends who attend the party.

Her mother can rent a party room, let the kids rent shoes and play 3 games for $20 plus $10 per child.
Estimate the number of friends Emma can invite for $240. You only need to estimate to answer this
question.
Which variable do you know in #5? Where would you put it, if you wanted to use the equation? Try to set up the equation.
Which variable do you know in #1. Estimate the total cost if 5 of Emma’s friends come to her party.
Try to set up the equation for that situation.
Estimate the total cost if 5 of Emma’s friends come to her party.Do you think these 2 equations are the same of different? Why?

Solving LinearWith
Algebraic Notation
When my daughter was in 3rd grade, she had a problem that said:
What number is added to 7 to get 15.
I told her, “Emma, think 15 – 7 = ? “15 – 7 = 8”, she said.
“Does 7 + 8 = 15?”She thought for a minute, then “YES!”
What’s My Number ?
When I add 8 to my number, I get 20. What’s my number?
Can you make an equation out of that problem?
What should I tell my daughter to think?
When I divide my number by 2, I get 6. What’s my number?
Can you make an equation out of that problem?
When solving linear equations, we work backwardTo move things across the equal sign to ultimately get the variable by itself.
Reverse the order of operations.
What is the last order of operations?What comes before that?
SOLUTION – a value for the variable that makes the equation true.
3x – 2 = 1 Check for x = 0, x = 1
2 – 6x = 2 Check for x = -1, x = 1, x = 0
SOLUTION SET– all solutions to an equation.
SOLVING – a process where you use inverse operations.
ADDITION PROPERTY for EQUATIONS if a = b, then a + c = b + c.
You can ADD (SUBTRACT)the same thing to both sides of an equation.
MULTIPLICATION PROPERTY for EQUATIONS if a = b, then ac = bc.
You can MULTIPLY (DIVIDE)the same thing to both sides of an equation.
x + 8 = 20 What do you think we need to do 1st ?
x + 8 = 20 -8 -8x + 0 = 12 x = 12

x + 3 = 2 3 is added to x Subtract 3 from both sides

**NOTE: you can change the subtraction on the variable to addition
1. The 2 is added to the variable term 2. x is
multiplied by –6
5 = 2 – 6x
4x = 2
Subtract 2 from both sides
divide both sides by -6

EQUIVALENT – when you do something to both sides it remains equivalent
3x + 5 = 7 is equivalent to 3x = 2 (subtracted 5 both sides)

Which of the 3 methods would you prefer for

Look at y column for what is known and over to x column for answer.
Look at y axis, go across to line, then down to solution off x axis.
Table or Symbols– not a nice round number for graph

GENERAL RULE for INEQUALITIES
The inequality stays the same when adding and subtracting across the inequality sign.
The inequality ONLY CHANGES when you Multiply or Divide both sides by a negative number.
