Study Guide- Chapter 5 Solving equations and inequalities:

Solving Equations

1. Identify the Equation:

( 2x + 3 = 11 )

2. Simplify Both Sides:

Combine like terms if necessary. In this example, both sides are already simplified.

3. Isolate the Variable:

Step 1: Subtract 3 from both sides to isolate the term with the variable.
( 2x + 3 - 3 = 11 - 3 )
( 2x = 8 )
Step 2: Divide both sides by 2 to solve for ( x ).
( \frac{2x}{2} = \frac{8}{2} )
(x=4)

4. Check Your Solution:

Substitute ( x = 4 ) back into the original equation to verify.


( 2(4) + 3 = 11 )
( 8 + 3 = 11 )

The solution is correct.

Solving Inequalities

1. Identify the Inequality:


Example: ( 3x - 5 \leq 10 )

2. Simplify Both Sides:

Combine like terms if necessary. In this example, both sides are already simplified.

3. Isolate the Variable:

Step 1: Add 5 to both sides to isolate the term with the variable.
( 3x - 5 + 5 \leq 10 + 5 )
( 3x \leq 15 )
Step 2: Divide both sides by 3 to solve for ( x ).

( \frac{3x}{3} \leq \frac{15}{3} )


( x \leq 5 )

Example Inequality:
Solve the inequality 2x−3>52x−3>5.

Steps to Solve:

Add 3 to both sides:


4. 2x−3+3>5+32x−3+3>5+3
5. 2x>82x>8
Divide both sides by 2:
6. 2x2>8222x >28
7. x>4x>4
Graphing the Solution:
Draw a number line.
Use an open circle at x=4 because the inequality is strict (greater than, not greater than or
equal to).
Shade the region to the right of 4 to indicate all values greater than 4.

Graph the Solution:

Draw a number line and plot ( x \leq 5 ).


Use a closed circle at 5 and shade to the left.
Practice Problems

Solving Equations:

x + 7 = 12 5x = 35 3x + 5 = 20 4x + 8 = 24

X=5
X=7 X=5 X=4

x-4 =9 x/3 = 6 2x - 7 = 13 2x/5 + 3 = 7

X=13 X=18 X=10 X=10

Solving Inequalities: Graph the highlighted problems

x + 4 < 10 3x > 15 2x + 3 <11 4x - 5 > 7


X<6 X>5
_
x-5>2 x/2 < 8 3x + 6 >15 x/4 - 2 < 10
