  1. The Seven Steps to Solving Equations Algebra Karaoke

  2. Step Number 1 • Look at the Equation 2(x + 5) + 3x = -5(x + 4) + 15x

  3. Step Number 2 • Apply the Distributive Property if it is in the equation. Original: 2(x + 5) + 3x = -5(x + 4) + 15x 2x +10 + 3x = -5x – 20 + 15x

  4. Step Number 3 • Combine Like Terms on EACH side of the equals sign Combining Like Terms is like collecting apples and oranges……only put terms together that look EXACTLY alike! Last Step: 2x + 10 + 3x = -5x – 20 + 15x Combining: 5x + 10 = 10x - 20

  5. Step Number 4 Add or Subtract (Goal: Get variables on one side of the equals sign and all whole numbers on the other side) 5x + 10 = 10x – 20 - 10 - 10 5x = 10x – 30 -10x -10x -5x = -30

  6. Step Number 5 • Multiply or Divide (Goal: To get the variable alone with only a 1 in front of the variable) -5x = -30 -5 -5 ( Anything divided by itself is 1)

  7. Step Number 6 • Find the solution to the equation -5/ -5 = 1x and -30/-5 = 6 so, My solution is : x = 6

  8. Step Number 7 • Check your answer 2(x + 5) + 3x = -5(x + 4) + 15x 2(6 + 5) + 3(6) = -5(6 + 4) + 15(6) • Use this website for help in solving equations • http://www.coolmathalgebra.com/Algebra1/index.html

  9. Rules to Karaoke • Pick 2 to 3 other people to be in your group • Pick a T.V. Theme Show Song (approved by the teacher) • Rewrite the words to include the 7 steps to solving an equation • Turn in a copy of your rewritten song • Perform the song for the class • Creativity earns more points (Costumes, dancing, etc.) Creating Your Own Personal Algebra Karaoke Tune

  10. Ideas and Examples of Songs • Saved By The Bell • Scooby Doo • The Flintstones • Fresh Prince of Bellaire • The Adams Family • Brady Bunch • SpongeBob Squarepants GOOD LUCK and Have FUN!
