§9.2 Solving equations.

It is  IMPORTANT to LEARN how to 

SOLVE LINEAR EQUATIONS

 IN A GOOD WAY!

That's why we'll PRACTICE it once more, now.

Example 1:       Solve: 

1. take together the like terms (not the case here)

2. remove 10 bags of marbles on both sides.   RESULT:

Solve:  14n + 8 = 10n + 24

• 3.   remove 8 loose marbles on both sides.   RESULT:  

Solve:      14n + 8 = 10n + 24

4. calculate n by dividing by 4 ON BOTH SIDES:

TASK:                                    Solve: 

What is the 1st step to take? Choose from:

A. remove loose marbles on both sides              B. divide by 34

C. remove bags of marbles on both sides          D. taking together like terms

KEY IN YOUR ANSWER IN THE NEXT SLIDE !

34n + 15 + 7n = 52n + 4
What is the 1st step to take?
A. take away loose marbles on one side B. divide by 34
C. take away bags of marbles on one side
D. taking together like terms

1. take away loose marbles on both sides
2. divide by 34
3. take away bags of marbles on both sides
4. taking together like terms

We have:

What is the 2nd step to take?    Choose from:

A.    dividing by 41                                       B. taking away loose marbles on one side

C.     taking away bags of marbles on one side      D. dunno 

KEY IN YOUR ANSWER IN THE NEXT SLIDE !

What is the 2nd step to take?

41n + 5 = 52n + 4




Solve: 41n + 5 = 52n + 4
The right step to take is now:
A. dividing by 41
B. taking away loose marbles on one side
C. taking away bags of marbles on one side
D. dunno

1. dividing by 41
2. taking away loose marbles on both sides
3. taking away bags of marbles on both sides
4. dunno

Now  we have: 

What is the 3rd step?

Key it in in the next slide!

5 = 11n + 4
3rd step: ........ = ...........

Below you see the 3rd step: taking away 4 loose marbles.

One step to go!

key the final result in in the next slide.

1 = 11n, so n = .....

Below you do not only see the last step, but the whole Solution!

This is the way it is written,

and so it shall be done!

By you, doing the tasks

from §9.2, today.

One more 'new' thing .....

Using 'brackets' is

not really new, of course,

but IT IS, in an equation!

It just asks for one more step:

The new 1st step now becomes:  REMOVE THE BRACKETS.

Here you see how to

solve this one!

Bye the way,

you do not HAVE TO 

CHECK, if you are sure

of your answer.

Homework time

§9.2

Do S11, 12, 13, 15

Only 4 tasks, but ... work them all out in the good way!

STUDY and USE  the METHOD on p.95  and the THEORY on p.96,

when making the tasks.
