Algebra I 1.4 Write Equations And Inequalities
VOCAB Equation– a mathematical sentence formed by placing the symbol = between two expressions Inequality – a mathematical sentence formed by placing one of the symbols <, >, ≤, or ≥ between two expressions
VOCAB Open Sentence– an equation or inequality that contains an algebraic expression Solution to an Equation –a number that makes the sentence true Solution to an Inequality – a number or set of numbers that makes the sentence true
1.4 Write Equations and Inequalities The BIG Difference Equations: Have ONLY ONE Solution! Inequalities: Have MANY Solutions!!!!!
EXAMPLE 1 Write equations and inequalities Verbal Sentence Equation or Inequality a. The difference of twice a numberk and8is 12. 2k – 8 = 12 b. The product of 6 and a number n is at least24. 6n ≥ 24
ANSWER P 30 12 > – for Example 1 GUIDED PRACTICE c. A number yis no less than 5 and nomore than13. 5 ≤ y ≤ 13 d. Write an equation or an inequality: The quotient of a number pand 12 is at least30.
? 8 – 2(3) 2 ≤ 2 = 2 3 is a solution. 4(3) – 5 6 7 = 6 3is not a solution. X 2(3) + 5 12 11 > 12 3 is not a solution. X 5 + 3(3) 20 14 ≤ 203is a solution. ? ? ? = = > EXAMPLE 2 Check possible solutions Check whether 3 is a solution of the equation or inequality. Substitute Equation/Inequality Conclusion a.8 – 2x = 2 b.4x– 5 =6 c.2z + 5 > 12 d.5 + 3n ≤ 20
4 = 4 5 is a solution. 9 – 5 4 > – > > – – 10<15 5is a solution. ? c.2n + 3 21 5 + 5 15 < 2(5) + 3 21 13 215 is NOT a solution. ? ? = for Example 2 GUIDED PRACTICE Check to see whether or not 5 is a solution of the equation or inequality. Substitute Equation/Inequality Conclusion a.9 – x = 4 b.b + 5 < 15 X
45 5 = 9 a d. = 9 5 EXAMPLE 3 Use mental math to solve an equation Equation Solution Check Think a. x + 4 = 10 6 6 + 4 = 10 What number plus 4 equals10? 20 –12 = 8 20minus whatnumber equals8? b. 20 –y = 8 12 c. 6n = 42 6(7) = 42 6times what numberequals42? 7 What number divided by 5 equals 9? 45
7. r = 10 40 = 10 4 4 for Example 3 GUIDED PRACTICE Solve the equation using mental math. Equation Solution Check Think 5. m + 6= 11 5 5 + 6 = 11 What number plus 6 equals11? 5(8) = 40 5times whatnumber equals40? 6. 5x = 40 8 What number dividedby 4 equals 10 40
Answer Now Is 2 a solution to 4z – 5 < 3? • A solution • NOT a solution
Answer Now Solve for f: • 0 • 12 • 24 • 4
EXAMPLE 4 Solve a multi-step problem Mountain Biking The last time you and 3 friends went to a mountain bike park, you had a coupon for $10 off and paid $17 for 4 tickets. What is the regular price of 4 tickets?If you pay the regular price this time and share it equally, how much does each person pay?
EXAMPLE 4 Solve a multi-step problem Step 1: Write a verbal model. Let p be the regular price of 4 tickets. Write an equation. Regular Price – Coupon = Amount Paid P – 10 = 17
EXAMPLE 4 Solve a multi-step problem Step 2: Use mental math to solve the equation p – 10 = 17. Think: 10 less than what number is 17? Because 27 – 10 = 17, the solution is 27. • Answer: The regular price for 4 tickets is $27. • Step 3: Find Cost Per Person • $27 / 4 people = 6.75 • Answer: $6.75 per person.
for Examples 4 and 5 GUIDED PRACTICE WHAT IF? Suppose that the price of 4 tickets with a half-off coupon is $15. What is each person’s share if you pay full price?
for Examples 4 and 5 GUIDED PRACTICE STEP 1: Write a verbal model. Let p be the regular price of 4 tickets. Write an equation. Regular Price – Coupon = Amount Paid r – 15 = 15
for Examples 4 and 5 GUIDED PRACTICE STEP 2: Use mental math to solve the equation p – 15=15. Think: 15 less than what number is 15? Because 30 – 15 = 15, the solution is 30. So the full price is $30. STEP 3: Find the Cost Per Person $30/4 = 7.5 Answer: $7.50 per person
EXAMPLE 5 Write and check a solution of an inequality You play 18 games of basketball. Last year you scored over 351. What was the average number of points you earned for each game. STEP 1: Write a verbal model. Let p be the average number of points per game. Write an inequality. Number of Games • Number of Points Per Game > Total Points Last Year 18 • p > 351 STEP 2: Check that 20 is a solution of the in equality18p > 351. 18(20) = 360 360 > 351 Answer: An average of 20 points per game will be enough.
for Examples 4 and 5 GUIDED PRACTICE WHAT IFSuppose that the player plays 16 games. Would an average of 22 points per game be enough to beat last year’s total? STEP 1:Write a verbal model. Let p be the average number of points per game. Write an inequality. Number of Games • Number of Points Per Game = Total Points Last Year STEP 2:Check that 22 is a solution of the in equality16p > 351. Because 16(22) = 352 352 > 351 So, 22 is a solution.
