Variable is a letter that represents a number.
Values of the variable are the numbers.
Algebraic expression is a collection of
numbers, variables, operations, and
grouping symbols.
Evaluate is to make a substitution, do the
work, and determine the value.
Value of the expression is the answer after
the expression is evaluated.

1.3 Solving Linear Equations
What you should learn:
Goal 1 Solve linear equations
Goal 2 Use linear equations to solve real-life
problems.
Using Addition or Subtraction
The key to success: Whatever operation is
done on one side of the equal sign, the same
operation must be done on the other side.
Inverse operations undo each other.
Examples are addition and subtraction.

If a number has been added to the variable,
subtract that number from both sides of the
ex)
equal sign.

If a number has been subtracted from the
variable, add that number to both sides of
ex)
the equal sign.
x4  6

USING A PROBLEM SOLVING PLAN
It is helpful when solving real-life problems to first write an
equation in words before you write it in mathematical symbols.
This word equation is called a verbal model.
The verbal model is then used to write a mathematical
statement, which is called an algebraic model.

When you are writing a verbal model to represent a
real-life problem, remember that you can use other
problem solving strategies, such as draw a diagram,
look for a pattern, or guess, check and revise, to help
create a verbal model.
Drawing a Diagram
RAILROADS In 1862, two companies were given the rights
to build a railroad from Omaha, Nebraska to Sacramento,
California. The Central Pacific Company began from Sacramento
in 1863. Twenty-four months later, the Union Pacific company
began from Omaha. The Central Pacific Company averaged 8.75
miles of track per month. The Union Pacific Company averaged 20
miles of track per month.
The companies met in Promontory, Utah, as the 1590 miles of track
were completed. In what year did they meet? How many miles of track

An open sentence involving absolute value
should be interpreted, solved, and graphed as
a compound sentence.
Study the examples:…
ax  b  c
ax  b  c
or
ax  b  c
For c  0 , x is a solution of ax  b  c
For c  0 , x has no solution

Solving Absolute Value Inequalities
An absolute-value inequality is an
inequality that has one of these forms:
ax  b  c
ax  b  c
ax  b  c
ax  b  c
