Now uncover the term 5f = Think: 5 times some number equals 35 5 times equals 35 f = C Method 2: Solve the equation by undoing the operations Step 1: Make a table First, list the operations in the equation according to the order in which they are applied to the variable Step 2: Apply the steps in the to solve column to solve the equation 5f - 12 = 23 Operations in the Equation 1 First f is by 5 2 Then, 12 is 1 First 12 to both sides of the equation 2 Then both sides by 5 Then, starting with the last operation in the equation write the opposite of the step Continue writing the opposite until every step is accounted for 5f - 12 = 23 5f = 35 f = Freddy has stamps Chapter 11 459 Lesson 1
REFLECT 1a In what way are these two methods for solving equations similar? 1b To solve an equation, you isolate the variable by performing operations in the order from the order in which they are applied to the variable in the original equation 2 CC7EE4a explore Solving Two-Step Equations that Contain Fractions Use a table to help you solve each equation A 22 = n 4 + 7 Operations in the Equation 1 First n is 1 First on both sides of the equation Solution 22 = n 4 + 7 22 = n 4 + 7 2 Then, 2 Then 15 = n 4 both sides by = n B 2x 3 = 12 Solution Operations in the Equation 1 First x is 2 Then, 1 First both sides by 2 Then both sides by 2x 3 = 12 2x 3 = 12 2x = 36 x = TRY THIS!
