Solve each equation:
1. 17.8 + 2.7 x = 56.95

2. 19.9x 8.3 = 222.54

3. 6.2x + 35 = 72.82

4. 115.84 = 24.3 18.2x

5. 66.5 = 30.7 10.8x

6. 34.6 + 17 x = 174

7. 5.4x 22.6 = 51.92

8. 130.9 = 33.7 + 8.1x

9. 21.5 2.8 x = 27.22

10.209.25 = 13.5 + 13.5x

2.1 Reducing Fractions: To reduce fractions: Find a whole number
that divides the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom).

Example: Reduce

Practice: Put each fraction in lowest terms (reduce fractions)

Adding & Subtracting Fractions:


To add or subtract fractions, you need a

Then add or subtract the numerators.
Leave the denominators the same.
Reduce if possible.

2.3 Multiplication and Division of Fractions:


2.3.1 Cross Multiplication:

To solve with Cross Multiplication, you need 1 fraction = 1


fraction.
Then multiply ACROSS (see example)
Solve for x (if you have a number times x, divide both sides by
that number).

Examples: Cross multiply to solve for x (decimal answers

2.3.2 Multiplying Fractions:


When multiplying fractions, simply multiply the numerators (top
number of the fractions) together and multiply the denominators
(bottom number of the fractions) together. It is good practice to
check to see if any of the numbers can cancel. Canceling is done
when the numerator and denominator can be divided evenly by the
same number.
Note: Canceling can happen top-to-bottom and/or diagonally but
never across.
Example:

Review Notes

Practice: Multiply these fractions. Cancel and simplify if possible.

2.3.3 Multiplying Mixed Numbers:


Change mixed numbers into improper fractions, then multiply as before.
Example:

Practice: Multiply these fractions. Cancel and simplify if possible.

Review Notes

2.3.4 Dividing Fractions:


When dividing fractions, invert (turn over) the fraction to the right of
the (divide by) symbol. Cancel (if possible) then multiply.
Example:

Practice: Divide these fractions. Cancel if necessary and simplify.

Review Notes

2.3.5 Dividing Mixed Number Fractions:


When dividing mixed numbers, change the mixed numbers to improper
fractions, invert the fraction on the right of the symbol, cancel if
possible, multiply then simplify.
Example:

Review Notes
Practice: Divide the following mixed numbers. Cancel and simplify when
possible.

3. Review of Integers, Order of Operations and


Combining like terms.
3.1 Integers:

Numbers can be positive or negative, if a number has no sign, it


means it is a positive number. If the number is in an equation, the
number takes the sign just before it.
2 3 2 is positive and 3 is negative

Adding and subtracting can be put into two rules:


11

Review Notes

Two like signs become a positive sign:


3 + (+2) = 3 + 2 = 5
6 - (-3) = 6 + 3 = 9

Two unlike signs become a negative sign:


7 + (-2) = 7 2 = 5
8 - (+2) = 8 2 = 6

Rules for Multiplying and Dividing Integers.


1. The product of two positive integers or two
negative integers is positive.

Positive x positive = positive


2x3=6

Negative x negative = positive -2 x -3 = 6

Positive positive = positive 10 2 = 5

Negative negative = positive -10 -2 = 5


2. The product of a positive integer and a negative integer is
negative.

Positive x negative = negative


Negative x positive = negative
Positive negative = negative
Negative positive = negative

2x-3=-6
-2x3=-6
10 - 2 = - 5
-10 2 = -5

Examples:
(9) (4)(-2)=

(-10) (-2)(-5)=

27 - 3 =

-128 -2=

3.2 Order of Operations: BEDMAS

Operations within grouping symbols are performed first, starting


with the innermost and working outward.
Multiplication and division are performed in order from left to right.
Addition and subtraction are performed in order from left to right.
Example:

Use the order of operations to simplify the following:

3.3

Combining like terms:

Terms that differ only by their numerical coefficients, terms with the
same variables and same variables raised to the same exponent.
Examples of like terms are:
of unlike terms:
-7x, 4x, x
3x3, 2x3. -4x3
1, -10

Examples
x, 3x4, -5x2
7t, 6p

Review Notes

In algebra, we combine like terms,


a) 6x + 2x
b) 3p + 9p -10p

c) 3m 5m + 3

d) 4x + 3 8x 7

e) 2x2 + 3x - 1 + x2 4x 2

f)k 2k2 + 3 + 5k2 -3k - 4 + 4k3

4. Rounding:

When rounding fractions, you first need to ask: what are you
rounding it to? Numbers can be rounded to the nearest tenth, the
nearest hundredth, the nearest thousandth, and so on.
Example:
Consider the number 4.827.
4.827 rounded to the nearest tenth is 4.8
4.827 rounded to the nearest hundredth is 4.83
4.827 rounded to the nearest thousandth is 4.827

When rounding a number, you first need to ask: what are you

rounding it to?
Numbers can be rounded to the nearest ten, the nearest hundred,
the nearest thousand, and so on.
Example:
34 rounded to the nearest ten is 30
6,809 rounded to the nearest hundred is 6,800
1,951 rounded to the nearest thousand is 2,000
