3.1-3.2Solving Equations with One and Two Steps

Today’s Learning Targets

I will :• solve two-step equations

• solve multi-step equations in an algebraic proof

• write and solve equations from word problems

Solve equations using inverse operations

to produce equivalent equations.

What are inverse operations?What are equivalent equations?

Properties of Equality

Addition Property of Equality

Add the same number to both sides of the equation to produce an equivalent equation.

Subtraction Property of Equality

Subtract the same number from both sides of the equation to produce an equivalent equation.

Properties of Equality

Multiplication Property of EqualityMultiply both sides of the equation by the same

nonzero number to produce an equivalent equation.

Division Property of Equality

Divide each side of the equation by the same nonzero number to produce an equivalent

equation.

How to show your work…

1.Write the original equation.

2.Use properties of equality to solve the problem

3.Check your work.

Examples:1. x – 9 = 15

2.

3. 4x – 3 = 13

4. 3 - 2

Now, write reasons for each step…

Example: Solve 7(5 – x ) = 14

Equation Explanation Reason

7(5 – x ) = 14

Write original equation

Given

35 – 7x = 14

Multiply Distributive property

-7x = -21

Subtract 35 from each side

Subtraction property of equality

x = 3 Divide each side by -7

Division property of equality

Your turn,

Example: Solve 5(x – 2) = 4

Equation Explanation Reason

Your turn,

Example: Solve 5(x – 2) = 4

Equation Explanation Reason

5(x–2) =4 Write original equation

Given

Your turn,

Example: Solve 5(x – 2) = 4

Equation Explanation Reason

5(x–2) =4 Write original equation

Given

5x-10 =4 Multiply Distributive property

Your turn,

Example: Solve 5(x – 2) = 4

Equation Explanation Reason

5(x–2) =4 Write original equation

Given

5x – 10 =4 Multiply Distributive property

5x = 14 Add 10 to both sides

Addition property of equality

Your turn,

Example: Solve 5(x – 2) = 4Equation Explanation Reason

5(x–2) =4 Write original equation

Given

5x -10 =4 Multiply Distributive property

5x = 14 Add to 10 both sides

Addition property of equality

x = 2.8 Divide both sides by 5

Division property of equality
