1.3 Solve Linear Equations
Goal  Solve linear equations.
Your Notes
VOCABULARY
Equation
A statement that two expressions are equal
Linear equation
A linear equation in one variable is an equation that can be written in the form ax + b = 0,
where a and b are constants and a  0.
Solution
A number is a solution of an equation in one variable if substituting the number for the
variable results in a true statement.
Equivalent equations
Two equations are equivalent equations if they have the same solution(s).
TRANSFORMATIONS THAT PRODUCE EQUIVALENT
EQUATIONS
_ Addition_Property
of Equality
Add the same number to
each side.
If a = b, then a + c = b + c.
Subtraction Property
of Equality
_Subtract_the same
number from each side.
If a = b, then a  c = b  c.
Multiplication
Property of Equality
Multiply each side by the If a = b and c  0, then
same nonzero number.
_a  c_ = _b  c_
Division Property of
Equality
_Divide_ each side by the If a = b and c  0, then
same nonzero number.
a  c = b  c.

Your Notes
Example 2
Solve an equation using the distributive property
3(3x  2) = 7(4x + 3)  31x
Original equation
_9x_ 6 = _28x_ + 21  31x
Distributive property
9x  6 = _3x_ + 21
Combine like terms.
_12x_  6 = 21
Add _3x_ to each side.
12x_ = _27_
