Q

-10=-10; always true equation

A

Infinitely many solutions, if we get rid of the variables, if we have one equation that is a multiple of the other; one on top of another

Q

Three equations, three unknowns

A

Two equations and two unknowns: 4 to 2; plug a in the new equations and then solve because now you have two variables

16
Q

abs x= 5

A

x=5 or x=-5; extra solutions so plug in into the both sides of the equation and then see if they are equal**; we also isolate the abs value on one side

17
Q

Inequality add/subtract

A

You can do the same to both sides

18
Q

Inequality multiplication

A

Multiplication- if you multiply or divide by a negative number *** reverses the order of the inequality; goal x should always be positive

19
Q

Open circle

A

Not included

20
Q

Adding inequalities

A

Add if in the same direction a>b c>d then a+c>b+d;

21
Q

Subtracting inequalities

A

Subtract only if in the opposite direction ; a>b db-c; follows the direction of the first inequality from which we subtract

22
Q

Multiplication and Division

A

No rules

23
Q

Subtracting positive or adding negative makes a number

A

Smaller

24
Q

Adding a positive makes a number

A

Bigger

25
Q

Numbers can be!!!

A

Negative or fractions and 0 and 1

26
Q

x-7

A

distance of +7 from x

27
Q

Abs value of inequalities

A

Find the center, and then move from the center in opp direction, center is the avg of the two numbers

28
Q

Use substitutes to solve

A

like use u and v to solve
