Equations and Their Solutions
Learning Target: I can determine if value is a solution to an equation.
Key Terms


Equation: A mathematical sentence that shows that two expressions are equal.
Solution of an equation: A value or values that make an equation true.
Steps
1. Substitute in for the variable.
2. Evaluate
3. If both sides are equal then yes, this is a solution; if both sides are not equal then no, this is not
a solution.
Examples
Try This
1)
c + 23 = 48 for c = 35
2) 75 ÷ y = 5 for y = 15
2) 96 = 130-d for d = 34
4) 105 = 7p for p = 14

Solving Addition Equations
Learning Target: I can solve one-step addition equations.
Key Terms


Isolate the Variable: To get the variable by itself in an equation.
Inverse Operations: Operations that undo each other. For example, addition and subtraction,
multiplication and division.
Steps
1. Circle the variable. If you choose, divide the equation into two parts.
2. Isolate the variable by using inverse operations. Remember that whatever operation you do to
one side of the equation; you have to do the same operation to the other.
3. Bring down the equals sign and simplify on both sides.
4. Check your work.

Solve and Graph One-step Inequalities
Learning Target: I can solve and graph one-step inequalities.
Important Information
 You solve inequalities the same way you solve equations.
o However, this will slightly change with the introduction of integer operations next year.
 Remember that…
o Less than (<) and greater than (>) are represented with an open dot when you graph
them.
o Less than or equal to (≤) and greater than or equal to (≥) are represented with a closed
dot when you graph them.
Examples
Try This
Solve and graph each inequality.
1) 3t ≤ 27
2) y – 5 ≥ 0
3) x + 4 < 10
4)
5) 16 < f - 11
6) 8 > 2k
