Your Algebra Homework Can Now Be Easier Than Ever!

Linear Equations and Formulas

 

Definitions:

Solution: A number that makes an
equation true when it replaces the
variable in the equation .

Solution set : A set containing all the
solutions for a given equation.

Linear equation in one variable: An
equation with only one variable; the
variable is not raised to a power .

Identity: An equation in which every real
number (for which the equation is
defined) is a solution.

Contradiction: An equation that has no
solution.

Addition Principle of Equality:
If a=b, then a+c=b+c is true for all real numbers a, b, and c.
(If an equation is true and the same number is added to both sides, the equation is still
true.)

Multiplication Principle of Equality:
If a=b, then ac=bc is true for all real numbers a, b, and c, where c=0.
(If an equation is true and both sides are multiplied by the same number, the equation
is still true.)

Pattern for solving linear equations in 1 variable:

Get it READY to solve:
1. Distribute to clear parentheses
2.Multiply to clear fractions and decimals
3. Combine like terms .

Now it is ready, so SOLVE it:
1. Get variable on only one side
using addition principle
2. Get constants on the other side
using addition principle
3. Eliminate the coefficient of the variable
using multiplication principle.

Now you've solved it, so CHECK it.
1. Substitute the possible solution for the variable
2. Simplify both sides
3. If the result is true, it is a solution
If the result is false, it is not a solution.

Pattern for solving linear equations in 1 variable:


Now you've solved it, so CHECK it.
1. Substitute the possible solution for the variable
2. Simplify both sides
3. If the result is true, it is a solution
If the result is false, it is not a solution.

To isolate a particular variable in a formula :
1. Treat all other variables as constants.
2. Isolate the desired variable using the pattern for solving equations.

Just make up a digit to put in place of each of
the variables you are NOT solving for... use the
same steps to solve the formula that you would
use to solve the similar equation
