34 Part - Beginning Algebra Summary 1.. Solve Any 1 Variable Equation Page 4 of 4 1/1/01 Is it really an equation? No It s an expression, you can t solve it. You can factor, expand & simplify it Yes Make an equivalent, simpler equation If the equation contains fractions, eliminate the fractions (multiplying both sides by the LCD) If there is a common factor in each term, divide both sides of the equation by the common factor Can the variable be isolated? Yes Solve by undoing the equation Linear equations can by undone with the addition, subtraction, multiplication & division equality properties Quadratics, of the form (x + a) b, can be undone with the square root property No Write the equation in standard form Make one side equal to zero Put variable terms in descending order of degree with the constant term last Can it easily be put in factored form? Yes Solve by Factoring No Is it a quadratic equation? Yes Solve with the Quadratic Equation -or- Solve by Completing the Square No Not covered in this class Check solutions in the original equation Copyright Sally C. Zimmermann. All rights reserved.
