1.3 & 1.4 Solving Equations and Inequalities
Solving Equations
Remember:
Get all variables on one side and all numbers on the other.
Distribute to EVERY TERM in the ( ).
“Undo” all operations by doing the opposite.

More Examples
The width of a rectangle is 2 cm less than the length of the
rectangle. The perimeter of the rectangle is 76 cm. Find the
dimensions of the rectangle.
Solving for Variables without Numbers
Use the same techniques – your answer will probably be a
variable expression instead of a number.
Solve for w.
V = lwh
When would this be useful?
Solve for g.
S = ½gt2
