One Step Equations

One Step Equations

Objective: Solve one step equations for the independent value.

Model one step equations in real world context.

Example 1: Given the input, x.

• Ryan earns $12 per hour working at the sub shop. His earnings can be represented by f(x) = 12x.

• Evaluate f(8).

• f(8) = 12(8)

• f(8) = 96

• If Ryan works 8 hours he will earn $96.

Example 2: Given the input, x.

• Sarah earns $11 per hour working at the local mall. Her earnings can be represented by f(x) = 11x.

• Evaluate f(20).

• f(20) = 11(20)

• f(20) = 220

• If Sarah works for 20 hours, she will earn $220.

Example 3: Given the output, f(x).

• Ryan earns $12 per hour working at the sub shop. His earnings can be represented by f(x) = 12x.

• Suppose we know he earned $300. How many hours did he work?

• We know f(x) = 300. Substitute 300 for f(x).

• 300 = 12x

•  $\frac{300}{12}=\ x$  
    

•  $x\ =\ 25\ hours$  

Example 4: Given the output, f(x).

• Sarah earns $11 per hour working at the local mall. Her earnings can be represented by f(x) = 11x.

• Suppose we know he earned $132. How many hours did she work?

• We know f(x) = 132. Substitute 132 for f(x).

• 132 = 11x

•  $\frac{132}{11}=\ x$  
    

•  $x\ =\ 12\ hours$
