How do you multiply a number by a variable?

• To multiply a number by a variable, remember there is always a 1 in front of that variable if the variable is alone. 4(x)= 4x It is like multiplying 4 times 1x

Multiple Choice

Fill in the Blanks

5 + 9(x+2)

First I must________ 9 times x and 9 times ___ then. Last I add the 5 and ______.

What is an equation?

• Equation: an algebraic sentence with an equal sign

• The goal of Solving Equations: to isolate the variable (get it by itself)

• To Isolate the Variable: Use Inverse Operations! (do the opposite!)

• Justify Your Work: Properties of Equality

One-Step Equations

These are equations you can solve in one step by doing the OPPOSITE operation.

Multiple Choice

Laurie rode her bike 17.5 miles in 2 hours. She uses this equation to represent the relationship between her time and distance.

2x = 17.5

What does the solution x= 8.75 represent?

• The distance Laurie rode her bike.

• The time Laurie spent riding her bike.

• The distance Laurie traveled per hour.

• Not here

Two Step Equations

• These are equations that you can solve in two steps

• Typically, the FIRST step is to take care of any addition or subtraction

• Tyipcally, the SECOND step is to take care of any multiplication or division

• There are SOME cases where the steps may be different, but that is usually if you have exponents, parentheses, or a BIG division problem
