Solving Linear Equations

To solve Linear Equations means to find the value of the letter.

To solve an equation we need to use the inverse operations.

These are: add <=> subtract and multiply <=> divide.

Multiple Choice

Solve:

x + 12 = 20

• x = 32

• x = -32

• x = 8

• x = -8

x + 12 = 20

• subtract 12 from both sides

• x + 12 - 12 = 20 -12

• x = 8

Multiple Choice

5. 6b = 30

• x = 36

• x = 24

• x = 180

• x = 5

6b = 30

• divide both sides by 6

•  $\frac{6b}{6}=\frac{30}{6}$  

• b = 5

• These are: multiply <=> divide.

Multiple Choice

Which equation has x = 5 as the solution?

• x + 15 = 10
• 2x = 5
• 2x = 10

Which equation has x = 5 as the solution?

• 2x = 10

•  $\frac{2x}{x}=\frac{10}{2}$  

• x = 5

Multiple Choice

What is the first step in solving for w in the equation 3w + 5 = 14?

• Add 5 to both sides of the equal sign

• Divide by 3 on both sides of the equal sign

• Subtract 5 from both sides of the equal sign

• Multiply by 3 on both sides of the equal sign

What is the first step in solving for w in the equation 3w + 5 = 14?

• we always add or subtract to get rid of the number before multiplying or dividing by the coefficient of x

Multiple Choice

4x + 1 = 21

• x=120

• x=5

• x=30

• x=-5

4x + 1 = 21

• 4x + 1 -1 = 21 -1

• 4x = 20

•  $\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{20}{4}$  

• x = 5

Fill in the Blanks

Solve:

2x + 5 = 12

Solve:

2x + 5 = 12

• 2x + 5 -5 = 12 - 5

• 2x = 7

•  $\frac{2x}{2}\ =\ \frac{7}{2}$  

• x = 3.5

Fill in the Blanks

Solve:

3(x - 2) = 18

Solve:

3(x - 2) = 18

• Expand first

• 3x - 6 = 18

• 3x - 6 +6 = 18 +6

• 3x = 24

•  $\frac{3x}{3}\ =\ \frac{24}{3}$  

• x = 8
