Todays Objective

To be able to solve
equations with
fractions and
decimals.

Multiply
Why 100
by 100
? Example

#1

3.57x - 37.40 = .23x + 8.32

(100)3.57x-37.40=.23x+8.32(100)

357x - 3740 = 23x + 832

357x -23x - 3740 = 23x -23x + 832

334x - 3740 = 832

334x - 3740 + 3740 = 832 + 3740

334x = 4572

Example #1

334x = 4572
334x/334 = 4572/334

x 13.69

Nowthe
you try this
Remove
decimal points
4.5 - 7.2x = 3.4x - 49.5
(10)4.5 - 7.2x = 3.4x - 49.5(10)

45 - 72x = 34x - 495

Now you try this

4.5 - 7.2x = 3.4x - 49.5

(10)4.5 - 7.2x = 3.4x - 49.5(10)

45 - 72x = 34x - 495

45 - 72x +72x = 34x +72x-495

45 = 106x - 495
45 + 495 = 106x - 495 + 495

540 = 106x

Now you try this

540 = 106x
540/106 = 106x/106

Equations with
Fractions and special
fraction problems

Example #1

x/3 - 9 = 21
x/3 - 9 + 9 = 21 + 9

x/3 = 30

(3)x/3 = 30(3)

x = 90

Check #1

x/3 - 9 = 21
90/3 - 9 = 21
30 - 9 = 21

21 = 21

Now You try this one

(solve and check)

a/5 - 6 = 10
a/5 - 6 + 6 = 10 + 6

a/5 = 16

(5)a/5 = 16(5)

a = 80

Check

a/5 - 6 = 10
80/5 - 6 = 10
16 - 6 = 10

10 = 10

Example #2
(x - 9)/3 = 21
(3)(x - 9)/3 = 21(3)

x - 9 = 63
x - 9 + 9 = 63 + 9

x = 72

Check #2

(x - 9)/3 = 21
(72 - 9)/3 = 21

63/3 = 21

21 = 21

Now You try this one

(solve and check)

(x - 2)/3 = 5
(3)(x - 2)/3 = 5(3)

x - 2 = 15
x - 2 + 2 = 15 + 2

x = 17

Check

(x - 2)/3 = 5
(17 - 2)/3 = 5

15/3 = 5

5=5

Be READY to tell me the Mistake Below:

2(6 - 2x) = 4

12 - 2x = 4
12 -12 - 2x = 4 - 12

- 2x = -8

-2x/-2 = -8/-2

The corrected version

2(6 - 2x) = 4

12 - 4x = 4
12 -12 - 4x = 4 - 12

- 4x = -8

-4x/-4 = -8/-4

Be READY to tell me the Mistake Below:

2(6 - 2x) = 4

12 - 4x = 4
12 - 12 - 4x = 4 - 12

4x = -8

4x/4 = -8/4

The corrected version

2(6 - 2x) = 4

12 - 4x = 4
12 -12 - 4x = 4 - 12

- 4x = -8

-4x/-4 = -8/-4

Solve the following

1.) 2(3-x) = 4
2.) 2(6 - 2x) = 4
3.) 1/2(4 - 6a) = 6
