- 2. Solve for a Variable A variable represents a number We do not know the number X will be the variable We will solve for X
- 4. Solve for X Get X by itself - Get X on only one side X = ?
- 5. How to Get X Alone - Use Basic Math to Solve (−) Subtract (+) Add (x) Multiply (÷) Divide
- 6. Basic Rules Get X by itself Note: If you preform an operation to one side, you also must preform the same operation to the other side.
- 7. Lets Try Examples Ex 1 3X + 5 = 20 -5 -5 3X = 15 ÷3 ÷3 X = 5 Ex 2 1/2X – 10 = 0 +10 +10 1/2X = 10 x2 x2 X = 20
- 8. Check the Answers - Plug in your value for X - Ex 1 3(5) + 5 = 20 15 + 5 = 20 20 = 20 Ex 2 ½(20) – 10 = 0 10 – 10 = 0 0 = 0
- 9. Solve for Inequalities What is an Inequalities < Less then > Greater then < Less then or equal to > Greater then or equal to
- 12. Rules of Inequalities Same rules as equations With one exception: When dividing by a negative you must switch the direction of the sign.
- 13. Lets Try Examples Ex 1 -2X – 10 < 4 +10 +10 -2X < 14 ÷(-2) ÷(-2) X > -7 Ex 2 3X + 15 > 9 -15 -15 3X > -6 ÷3÷3 X > -2
- 14. Graph an Inequality < = ) Less then > = ( Greater then < = ] Less then or equal >= [ Grater then or equal
