Warm UP!
Solve.
3x+4=16
3x=12
x=4

5x-(7x-4)-2 = 5-(3x+2)
5x-7x+4-2 = 5-3x-2
-2x+2 = 3-3x

Section 1.1 Linear Equations

September 19, 2016

Some Definitions
Algebraic Expression: one or more terms which are
combined through basic operations (+, -,

). There is NO

equal sign.
To solve an equation means to find all the values that make
it true. These values are called solutions or roots of the
equation.

More Definitions
Solution Set: The set containing all solutions to an
equation.

is the solution set.

no solution

Identity: an
R (all real numbers)

equation that is
always true

One More Definition


A linear equation in one variable, x, can be written in the
form:

ax + b = 0
where a and b are real numbers and a is not equal to
zero.
