Step : Pick a test point, say, (0, 0). It satisfies the inequality x y < (0 0 < is true) Step : Shade the half plane that contains the test point (0, 0), the half plane is the solution set. y 0 x () Solve the equation: x = 7 ( x) x = 7 ( x) = x = x = x = 7 + x = x x = 7 + = x = = x = () Solve the equation: x + x = x x = 0 (by Factoring) x + x = = x + x = 0 = (x )(x + ) = 0 = x =, x = ; (by the Quadratic Formula) = x = b± b ac a x + x = = x + x = 0 = a =, b =, c = = ± ()( ) = ± + = ± 9 = ± () = x = + = =, x = = = x x = 0 = a =, b =, c = = x = b± b ac a () Solve the equation: (x + 7) = = ± ( ) ()( ) = ± +0 = ± 7 = ± 9 = ± 9 () (by Square Root Property) (x + 7) = = x + 7 = ± = x + 7 = ± = x = 7 ± = x = 7±

4 () Solve the equation: x = x (Isolate the radical:) = x = x + (then, square both sides:) = ( x) = (x + ) = x = x + x + 9 = 0 = x + x x = x + 9x + = 0 = (x + )(x + ) = 0 = x =, x = (Check the solutions in the original equation:) Check x = = ( ) = ( ) + = = = = (True); Check x = = ( ) = ( ) + = = = = (False); = x = is solution. (x = is NOT a solution, drop it.) (7) Solve the equation: x + x = x 7x+ + x x = x x x + x = (multiply both sides by LCD x(x ) to eliminate the denominators:) = x + (x ) = x(x ) = x + x = x x = 0 = x x x x + = 0 = x 0x + (switch left and right hand side and divide both sides by to simplify) = x x + = 0 = (x )(x ) = 0 = x =, x = (Both solutions check, see below.) Check x = = + = = + = = = (True) Check x = = + = = + = = = (True) x 7x+ + x x = x x Since the st denominator is: x 7x + = (x )(x ), the LCD is (x )(x ); Multiply both sides by LCD (x )(x ) to eliminate the denominators: = + x(x ) = x(x ) = + x x = x 9x = + x x x + 9x = 0 = x + x + = 0 Multiply both sides by (-) to make the leading coefficient positive: = x x = 0 = (x )(x + ) = 0 = x =, x = The solution is x = (x = is NOT a solution, can you see why?) () Solve the equation for y: Ax + By + Cz = D (y is the variable, everything else is regarded as a constant.) Isolate the variable term: = By = D Ax Cz Divide both sides by B: = y = D Ax Cz B (9) Solve the system of equations: x y = E x y = E E () and, E ( ) = x 0y = 0 E x + 0y = E E + E = 9x = = x = Substitute x = in E = () y = = 0 y = = y = = The solution of the system is: (, ) (0) If working alone, A can complete a task in hours and B can complete the same task in 9 hours. How many hours do they need to complete the task if they work combinedly? Working alone, in EACH hour, A can complete portion of the task; while B can complete portion of the task. 9 Working together, if x hours are needed. Then, in EACH hour, they together can complete portion of the task. x the equation is set up as: + 9 = x To solve it, multiply both sides by LCD (x), = x + x = = x = = x = =. (hours) ( hours and minutes)

5 () An investment of $000 was put in two accounts. At the end of the year, it was found that the st account earned % interest rate and the nd account earned %, and the total interest is $0. Find the original investment amount in each account. Let the amount of investment in the st account be $x, then the amount of investment in the nd account is $(000 x), Account Investment Interest rate Interest st x x nd (000 x) (000 x) According to the problem, the total interest is $0 = 0.0x + 0.0(000 x) = 0 To solve the equation: multiply both sides by 00 = x + (000 x) = 000 = x x = 000 = x = = x = 000 = x = 000 (dollars) The investment in the st account was $000, and the investment in the nd account was ($000 $000 ) = $000. Or, set up two variables to solve the problems: Let x be the amount of investment in the st account and y be the amount of investment in the nd account. x + y = 000 then, set up a system to solve for x and y. 0.0x + 0.0y = 0 () A chemist needs to mix an % salt solution with a % salt solution to obtain liters of a % salt solution. How many liters of each of the salt solutions must be used? Assume that x liters of % solution are needed, then, the amount of % solution is ( x) liters. Solution amount (in liter) percentage of salt salt in the solution % x 0. 0.x % ( x) 0. 0.( x) the mixture =. Since the salt in the mixture is from the two solutions, then, the equation is set as: = 0.x + 0.( x) =. To solve the equation, multiply both sides by 00 first to eliminate the decimals, = x + ( x) = = x + 0 x = = 7x = 0 = 7x = 0 = x = (liters) The chemist used liters of % solution and liters of % solution. Or, set up two variables to solve the problems: Needed: x liters % solution and y liters of % solution, x + y = then, set up a system 0.x + 0.y = 0. to solve for x and y. () Find the length and width of a rectangle if its perimeter is in., and its length is in less than twice its width. Let its length be l and its width be w, l + w = then, set up a system: l = w solve the system = w =, l =
