Algebra II

By Monica Yuskaitis
Definitions

• Equation – A mathematical
sentence stating that 2
expressions are equal.
• 12 – 3 = 9
• 8 + 4 = 12
Definitions

• Equation – A mathematical
sentence with an equals sign.
• 16 – 5 = 11
• 14 + 3 = 17
Definitions
• Equals Sign (=) Means that the
amount is the same on both sides.

•4+2=6
•5–2=3
An Equation is like a balance
scale. Everything must be equal
on both sides.

=
10 5+5
When the amounts are equal on
both sides it is a true equation.

=
12 6+6
When the amounts are unequal on
both sides it is a false equation.

=
8 2+2
When an amount is unknown on
one side of the equation it is an
open equation.

=
7 n+2
When you find a number for n you
change the open equation to a true
equation. You solve the equation.

=
7 5n + 2
Are these equations true, false or
open?

• 11 - 3 = 5 false
• 13 + 4 = 17 true
•N+4=7 open
• 12 – 3 = 8 false
• 3 + v = 13 open
• 15 – 6 = 9 true
Definitions

• Inverse operation – the opposite


operation used to undo the first.
•4+3=7 7–4=3
• 6 x 6 = 36 36 / 6 = 6
How to solve an addition
equation

• Use the inverse operation for


addition which is subtraction
• m + 8 = 12 12 - 8 = 4
•m=4 4 + 8 = 12
How to solve a subtraction
equation

• Use the inverse operation for


subtraction which is addition
•m-3=5 5+3=8
•m=8 8-3=5
Solve these equations using
the inverse operations
•n+4=7 3
•n–5=4 9
• n + 4 = 17 13
• n – 6 = 13 19
• n + 7 = 15 8
• n – 8 = 17 9
Commutative Property

•5+4=9 4+5=9
•a+b=c b+a=c
•6+3=9 3+6=9
• x+ y = z y+x=z
•3+4+1=8 1+3+4=8
Solve these equations using the
commutative property

•n+7=7+4 n=4
•m+2=2+5 m=5
•z+3=3+9 z=9
• g + 6 = 6 + 11 g = 11
• s + 4 = 4 + 20 s = 20
• c + 8 = 8 + 32 c = 32
The Identity Property of Addition

•7+0=7
•a+0=a
•8+0=8
•c+0=c
•2+0=2
Use the Identity Property of
addition to solve these problems

•n+0=8 n=8
•b+0=7 b=7
•m+0=3 m=3
•v+0=5 v=5
•w+0=4 w=4
•r+0=2 r=2
Subtraction Rules of zero

•7–7=0
•n–n=0
•4–0=4
•n–0=n
Find the value of n using the rules
of subtraction

•n -8=0 n=8
•n–9=0 n=9
•n–0=7 n=7
•n–0=9 n=9
•n–7=0 n=7
•n–0=5 n=5
Write an equation for these
problems using a variable
• Timothy got 72 right on his timed test in
July. He got 99 right on this same test in
November.
72 + n = 99 or 99 – 72 = n
• Jasmin runs 15 minutes before school and
30 minutes after school.
15 + 30 = n
• One zinger costs 25 cents. Issak bought
4. 4 x 25 = n
