Section 2-3 Solve Multi-step Equations SPI 22D: Solve multi-step equations with variables on one side Objectives: •Solve multi-step linear equations by combining like terms and using the distributive property Recall distributive property • 9(w – 6) = 9w + (-54) or 9w - 54 Recall combining like terms: • 4c + 5c = (4 + 5)c = 9c • Can NOT combine 8x + 15 + x2. Solve a two-step Linear Equation Step 1. Combine like terms Step 2. Circle term with variable Step 3. Do all addition and subtraction to get like terms on one side Step 4. Simplify Step 5. Do multiplication and division Step 6. Check your answer Solve 3a + 6 + a = 90 4aCheck: + 6 =3a90 +6+a 4a + 6 – 3(21) 6 = 90 – 21 6 +6+ 4a 63 = 84 + 6 + 21 4a 84 90 4 =4 a = 21 90 Combine like terms. SubtractSubstitute 6 from each side. 21 for a. 90 Simplify. = 90 = 90 Divide each side by 4. Simplify. Solve a two-step Linear Equation Solve 2b + 6 + b = 90 3b + 6 = 90 3b + 6 – 6 = 90 – 6 Combine like terms. Subtract 6 from each side. 3b = 84 Simplify. 3b 84 = 3 3 Divide each side by 4. b = 28 Simplify. Solve a two-step Linear Equation with Grouping Symbols Solve 2(x – 3) = 8 2x – 6 = 8 2x – 6 + 6 = 8 + 6 Use the Distributive Property. Add 6 to each side. 2x = 14 Simplify. 2x 14 = 2 2 Divide each side by 2. x = 7 Simplify. Real-world: Write and Solve a Two-step Linear Equation You need to build a rectangular pen in your back yard for your dog. One side of the pen will be against the house. Two sides of the pen have a length of x ft and the width will be 25 ft. What is the greatest length the pen can be if you have 63 ft of fencing? Draw and label a diagram to model the problem. Define a variable Write an equation x + 25 + x = 63 2x + 25 = 63 2x + 25 – 25 = 63 – 25 Combine like terms. Subtract 25 from each side. 2x = 38 Simplify. 2x 38 = 2 2 Divide each side by 2. x = 19 The pen can be 19 ft long. Solve Linear Equations with Fractions Two Methods: 1. Find common denominator 2. Multiply to clear fractions Method 1: Find a common denominator 3x x 17 2 5 15 2 x x 17 10 10 17 x 17 10 10 17 10 x 17 17 10 17 x 10 Rewrite using common denominato r Combine like terms Multiply each side by the recriproca l Simplify Method 2: Multiply to Clear Fractions 3x x 17 2 5 3x x 10 (10)17 2 5 Multiply each term by 10 (common multiple of 2 and 5) 3x x 10 10 (10)17 2 5 Rewrite equation using distributive property 30 10 x x 170 2 5 Simplify 15x 2x 170 Simplify 17 x 170 Combine like terms x 10 Division Property of Equality Linear Equations and Fractions 5 7 x 8 8 x 5 7 8 8 8 1 8 8 Multiply each term by 8 8x 5 7 Simplify 8x 5 5 7 5 Subtraction Property of Equality 8x 12 Simplify 12 3 1 x 1 1.5 8 2 2 Division Property of Equality Real-World: The Canoe Trip John and two friends went on a canoe trip. The cost of renting the canoe is $5.00 per hour. In addition, each person must rent a life jacket which costs $2.00. They spent a total of $41.00. For how many hours did they rent the canoe? 1. Define the variable h=numbers of hours for canoe 2. Write an equation relating total cost, # hours and cost of life vests. 5.00h + 3(2.00) = 41 3. Solve the equation for h. 5.00h + 3(2.00) = 41 5.00h + 6.00 – 6.00 = 41 -6.00 5.00h = 35 h=7 Summary for Solving a Multi-Step Linear Equation 1. Clear equations of fractions and decimals 2. Use the distributive property to remove parentheses on each side 3. Combine like terms 4. Undo addition or subtraction 5. Undo multiplication and division
