These numbers are called the solutions or roots of the equation. These solutions make up the solution set. Equations with the same solution set are called equivalent equations. We will focus on solving linear equations. A linear equation in one variable is an equation that can be written in the form ax + b = 0 where a and b are real numbers and a ≠ 0. Addition and Multiplication Properties of Equality For real numbers a, b, and c: If a = b, then a + c = b + c. That is, the same number or expression may be added to (or subtracted from) both sides of an equation without changing the solution set. If a = b and c ≠ 0, then ac = bc. That is, both sides of an equation may be multiplied (or divided) by the same nonzero number without changing the solution set. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison-Wesley.

Conditional Equations – is an equation satisfied by some numbers but not others. 3. Contradiction – is an equation that has no solution. Indentifying the type of linear equation comes from whether the resulting statement is true (1), unique (2) or false (3). Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison-Wesley.

If the length and width are each increased by 3 in., the perimeter of the new rectangle will be 4 in. less than 8 times the width of the original rectangle. Find the dimensions of the original rectangle. Assign variables: Let x = the length of the original rectangle. Then, x − 2 = the width of the original rectangle. x + 3 = the length of the new rectangle (x − 2) + 3 = x + 1 = the width of the new rectangle. Copyright © 2008 Pearson Addison-Wesley.

She was able to average 48 mph returning, and her driving time was 1 hr less. What is the distance between Krissa’s house and her grandmother’s house?
