LEARNING TARGETS
𝟑𝒃 − 𝟒 = 𝟏𝟕
𝟑𝒃 − 𝟒 + 𝟒 = 𝟏𝟕 + 𝟒
𝟑𝒃 = 𝟐𝟏
LET’S FIND X: 3𝑏 − 4 = 17
Make the coefficient of the variable equal to 1
𝟑𝒃 = 𝟐𝟏
𝟏 𝟏
𝟑𝒃 = 𝟐𝟏
𝟑 𝟑
𝒃=𝟕
Check by substituting the value of
the variable to the original equation.
𝟑𝒃 − 𝟒 = 𝟏𝟕
𝒊𝒇 𝒃 = 𝟕 𝟑 𝟕 − 𝟒 = 𝟏𝟕
𝟐𝟏 − 𝟒 = 𝟏𝟕
𝟏𝟕 = 𝟏𝟕
ASSIGNMENT #4
Solve the following linear equations using
the different Properties of Equality:
𝟏. 𝟑𝒙 + 𝟓 = 𝟓𝒙 + 𝟏𝟕
𝟐. 𝟒 𝟐𝒚 + 𝟑 = −𝟐𝟎
𝟑. 𝟏𝟎 + 𝟏𝟏𝒗 − 𝟑 𝟒𝒗 + 𝟑 = 𝟖
Example 1
LET’S FIND X!
𝑛 − 30 = 4𝑛 + 2 + 11𝑛 − 2
Example 1
𝑛 − 30 = 4𝑛 + 2 + 11𝑛 − 2
Transpose or
apply
properties of
equality
𝑛 − 4𝑛 − 11𝑛 = 2 − 2 + 30
