Solving Linear Equations Flashcards
n/2=7
multiply n/2 with 2/1
3/4x=18
You can divide with 3/4, but if you want to calculate in head, multiply with 4/3, so that you have the result 1/1x and can multiply 4/3*18/1.
Solving equations with order, 5 steps.
Distribute (is solving things like 5(x-1)
Combine like terms (4n and -1 n on same side p.e.)
Add/Subtract
Multiply/Divide
Check: put variable into equation
Equations with fractions: 5/6x-2/3= 3/5x-1
find common denominator, in this case 30. Multiply everything integer with 30, look how often the denominator fits into 30, multiply the result with the numerator.
-10/7
Equations with decimals: .03x+.2=.35x-6.2
multiply with 10,100,1000 and so on, depending on how many after komma stellen the most after komma stellen integer has. Take the nachkommstellen and the 0´s. So, for 2 Nachkommastellen, multiply with 100.
Solving linear Inequalities: n+5<3
solve like normal equations. n
-7x>28
If you divide or multiply in lineat inequalities, you have to change the direction of the inequality operator, because 2>3 |*-1
-2>-3 would be wrong so
2(x+4)>2x-1
at the end 8>-1 which we describe as true, so equation is true
