3.1 Linear Equation in One Variable
A Linear Equation in one variable is an equation that can be written in the form
ax + b = 0
Where a = 0
A linear function can be written as f(x) = ax + b
Examples of Linear equation.2x –1 = 0, -5x = 10 + x, and 3x + 8 = 5
Properties of Equality
Addition Property of EqualityIf a, b, c are real numbers, thena = b is equivalent to a+ c = b + c.
Multiplication Property of EqualityIf a, b, c are real numbers with c = 0, thena = b is equivalent to ac = bc.
Standard form of a line ( pg 158 - 159 )
An equation for a line is in standard form when itis written as ax + by = c, where a, b, c are constantsWith a, b and c are constants with a and b notboth 0
To find x-intercept of a line, let y = 0 in the equation and solve for x
To find y-intercept of a line, let x = 0 in the equation and solve for x

3.2- Introduction to problem solving
Step1: Read the problems carefully to be sure that youunderstand it. ( You may need to read the problem more thanonce. ) Assign a variable to what you are being asked to find.If necessary, write other quantities in terms of this variable.
Step 2: Write an equation that relates the quantities described in the
problem. You may need to sketch a diagram, make a table, or refer to
known formulas.
Step 3: Solve the equation and determine the solution.
Step 4: Look back and check your answer. Does it seem reasonable? Did you find the required information ?
3.2 Solving a problemThe sum of three consecutive even integers is 96. Findthe three numbers. Solution Step 1: n is the smallest of the three integersn + 2 : next consecutive even integern + 4 : larges of the three even integers
Step 2: Write an equation that relates these unknown quantities. Asthe sum of these three even integers is 108The equation isn + (n + 2) + (n + 4) = 96
Step 3 : Solve the equation in Step 2n + (n + 2) + (n + 4) = 96( n + n +n) + (2 +4) = 963n + 6 = 963n + 6 = 963n = 90n = 30smallest of the three numbers is 30, so the three numbers are 30, 32, 34
Step 4: Check your answer. The sum of these three even integers is 30 + 32 + 34= 96The answer checks.
Mixing acid ( Ex 12 pg 172)
Step 1 x: liters of 60% sulphuric acid x + 2: Liters of 50% sulphuric acid
Step 2 Concentration Solution Amount Pure Acid
0.20 (20%) 2 0.20(2) 0.60 (60%) x 0.60x 0.50(50%) x + 2 0.50(x + 2)
Equation 0.20(2) + 0.60x = 0.50(x + 2) (pure acid in 20% sol.) (pure acid in 60% sol.) (pure acid in 50% sol.)
Step 3 Solve for x 0.20(2) + 0.60x = 0.50(x + 2) 2 (2) + 6x = 5(x + 2) Multiply by 10 4 + 6x = 5x + 10 (Distributive Property) Subtract 5x and 4 from each side x = 6Six liters of the 60% acid solution should be added to the 2 liters of 20% acid solution.
Step 4 If 6 liters of 60% acid solution are added to 2 liters of 20% solution, then therewill be 8 liters of acid solution containing 0.60(6) + 0.20(2) = 4 liters of pure acid.
Check The mixture represents a 4/8 = 0.50 or 50% mixture

0.20(4-x) + 0.70x = 0.50(4)0.8 – 0.2x + 0.7x = 20.5x = 1.2x = 2.4The amount of antifreeze to be drained and replaces is 2.4 gallons

3.3 Linear Inequality in One Variable
A linear inequality in one variable is an inequalitythat can be written in the formax + b > 0, where a = 0. ( The symbol > may bereplaced with >, <, or < )
There are similarities among linear functions,equations, and inequalities. A linear function isgiven by f(x) = ax + b, a linear equation by ax + b= 0, and a linear inequality by ax + b > 0.
3.3 Properties of Inequalities
Let a, b, c be real numbers. a < b and a+c < b+c are equivalent
( The same number may be added to or subtracted from both sides of an inequality.)
If c > 0, then a < b and ac < bc are equivalent.(Both sides of an inequality may be multiplied or divided by the
same positive number)
If c< 0, then a < b and ac > bc are equivalent.Each side of an inequality may be multiplied or divided by the same
negative number provided the inequality symbol is reversed.
Examples of linear inequalities are
2x + 1< 0, 1-x > 6, and 5x + 1 < 3 – 2xA solution to an inequality is a value of the variable thatmakes the statement true. The set of all solutions is calledthe solution set. Two inequalities are equivalent if theyhave the same solution set.
Inequalities frequently have infinitely many solutions. Forexample, the solution set to the inequality x- 5> 0 includesall real numbers greater than 5, which can be written as x > 5. Using set builder notation, we can write the solutionset as { x x > 5 }.
MeaningThis expression is read as “ the set of all real numbers x suchthat x is greater than 5. “

A compound inequality consists of two inequalitiesjoined by the words and or
In compound inequality contains word and, a solution must satisfyboth two inequalities.
2x > - 5 and 2x < 3 2(1) > -5 and 2(1) < 3 1 is a solution
True True

Three-part inequality
Sometimes compound inequality containing theword and can be combined into a three part inequality.
For example, rather than writing
x > 4 and x < 10
We could write the three-part inequality4 < x < 10
