2 2 Addition Property of Equality
Objectives: *Check the solution to an equation by substitution. *Use the addition property of equality to solve an equation.
88 + R + 6 = 100
How are we going to solve this problem?
Definitions: The solution set for an equation is the set of all numbers that when used in place of the variable make the equation a true statement. Two or more equations with the same solution set are said to be equivalent equations.
In words: Adding the same quantity to both sides of an equation will not change the solution set.
Identity Property of Addition The Identity Property of Addition states that for any number x, x + 0 = x
5+0=5
+0=
Inverse Property of Addition The inverse property of addition states that for every number x, x + (-x) = 0 4 and -4 are considered opposites.
4 + -4 = 0
-4
+ 4
2) y - 5 = 14 +5 +5 y = 19
3) n - 2 = 16 +2 +2 n = 18
5) 16 = n - 3 +3 +3 19 = n
6) 12 - 3 = k 9=k
8) 13 = n - 4 +4 +4 17 = n
9) k -23 = 17 +23 +23 k = 40
Translate the sentence into an equation and solve. 13) The difference of k and 11 is 32. k - 11 = 32 + 11 +11 k = 43 14) Six less than t is 12 . t - 6 = 12 +6 +6 t = 18
Applications:
Define a variable, write an algebraic equation, and solve.
1.) Matt scored 85 on his last test. This is 16 points higher than he scored on his first test. What was his score on the first test? Let t = first test score
85 16 t 16 16 69 t
2.) A gazelle can run at a speed of 50 mph. This is 10mph slower than the speed of a cheetah. What is the speed of a cheetah?
Let x = the speed of a cheetah
50 = x - 10 +10 +10
60 = x Cheetahs speed = 60
3.) The Sears Tower is 110 stories tall. This is 8 stories taller than the Empire State Building. How many floors is the Empire State Building? Let x = the # of stories in Empire State
110 = x + 8 -8 -8
102 = x
# Floors in Empire State = 102
4.) A submarine is 50 meters below the surface of the ocean. A scuba diver is 5 meters below the surface. Write an equation to find their difference in elevation and solve.
Let x = difference in elevation -50 + x = -5 +50 +50 x = 45
Difference in elevation = 45
3.) x + 2 = 6
x+22=62 x=4
a + = -1/4 - a = -1/4 2/4 a = -3/4 x + 2.3 2.3 = 3.5 - 2.3 x = -5.8
-5 + 2= x 2 + 2 9 5 5 5 -25 + 18 = x 45 45 -7 = x 45
19.) -5 = x 2 9 5
Simplify both sides of the following equations as much as possible, and then solve.
21.) 4x + 2 -3x = 4 + 1
23.) 8a 1 7a = 3 + 1 2 4 8
4x 3x = 5 - 2 x=3
The following equations contain parenthesis. Apply the distributive property to remove the parentheses, then simplify each side before using the addition property of equality.
35.) -3(x - 4) + 4x = 3 -7 -3x + 12 + 4x = -4 -3x + 4x = -4 -12 x = -16 43.) -3(2m 9) + 7(m-4) = 12 - 9 -6m + 27 + 7m 28 = 3 -6m + 7m = 3 -27 + 28 m=4 57.) 4x+ 4 = 5x 2 3 3 4 + 2 = 5x - 4x 3 3 2=x
