  1. 1.2.1 Warm-up Read the scenario and answer the questions that follow. Andrew is practicing for a tennis tournament and needs more tennis balls. He bought 10 cans of tennis balls online and received a 25% discount. The shipping cost was $5.99. Let x represent the cost of each can. 1. Write an algebraic expression to represent the cost of the tennis balls. 2. Write an algebraic expression to represent the cost of the tennis balls with the discount. 3. Write an algebraic expression to represent the total cost of the tennis balls with the shipping cost and the discount. Simplify the expression.

  2. 1. Write an algebraic expression to represent the cost of the tennis balls. Andrew purchased 10 cans of tennis balls at an unknown price, x. Therefore, the expression to represent the cost of the tennis balls is 10x. 2. Write an algebraic expression to represent the cost of the tennis balls with the discount. cost of the tennis balls(10x) – 25% discount (0.25(10x)) 10x – 0.25(10x) 10x – 2.5x 7.5x

  3. 3. Write an algebraic expression to represent the cost of the tennis balls with the shipping cost and the the discount. Simplify the expression. The shipping cost was $5.99. Add this to the expression from #2 10x – 0.25(10x) + 5.99 10x – 2.5x+ 5.99 7.5x+ 5.99

  4. Write an algebraic expression for each of the following statements. Half the sum of 6 and a number, decreased by 4. The product of 4 and the square of y, increased by the difference of y and 7.

  5. Lesson 1.2.1 Creating Equations and Inequalities in one variable A ____________________is an equation that can be written in the form ax + b = c, where a, b, and c are rational numbers. The ______________will be the value that makes the equation true. A _______ _______ is a rate per one given unit, and a _________________is a ratio that compares different kinds of units. linear equation solution unit rate rate

  6. Steps to creating equations from context: 1. _____________ the problem statement first. 2. Reread the scenario and ______________________of the known quantities. 3. Read the statement again, identifying the ____________________________. 4. Create __________________________from the known quantities and variables(s). 5. _____________ the problem. _____________ the solution of the equation in terms of the context of the problem and_____________units when appropriate, multiplying by a unit rate. Read make a list or a table unknown quantity or variable expressons and inequalities Solve Interpret convert

  7. Example 1: James earns $15 per hour as a teller at a bank. In one week he pays 17% of his earnings in state and federal taxes. His take-home pay for the week is $460.65. How many hours did James work? Step 1: read the statement carefully Step 2: James earns $15 per hour James pays 17% of his earnings in taxes His pay for the week is $460.65 Step 3: The scenario asks for James’s hours for week. The variable to solve for is hours(h). Step 4: amt. of pay per week(15h) – tax taken out0.17(15h) 15h – 0.17(15h) = weekly pay 460.65

  8. Step 5: Solve the equation. 15h – 0.17(15h) = 460.65 15h – 2.55h= 460.65 12.45h= 460.65 h= 37 hours James worked 37 hours Step 6: The scenario asked for hours and the quantity given was in terms of hours. So no conversion is necessary.

  9. Example 2: Brianna has saved $600 to buy a new TV. If the TV she wants costs $1800 and she saves $20 a week, how many weeks will it take her to buy the TV? TV costs $1800, Brianna saved $600, Brianna saves $20 a week Amount saved + amount saved times # weeks = goal amt 600 + 20x = 1800 20x = 1200 x = 60 weeks

  10. Example 3: Suppose two brothers who live 55 miles apart decide to have lunch together. To prevent either brother from driving the entire distance, they agree to leave their homes at the same time, drive toward each other, and meet somewhere along the route. The older brother drives cautiously at an average speed of 60 miles per hour. The younger brother drives faster, at an average speed of 70 mph. how long will it take the brothers to meet each other? Answer: .42 hours = 25 or 26 minutes

  11. Example 4: Think about the following scenarios. In what units should they be reported? Explain the reasoning. a. water filling up a swimming pool b. the cost of tiling a kitchen floor c. the effect of gravity on a falling object. d. a snail traveling across the sidewalk e. painting a room Gallons per minute Dollars per square foot Feet or meters per second Miles per hour Square feet per hour

  12. Example 5: Ernesto built a wooden car for a soap box derby. He is painting the top of the car blue and the sides black. He already has enough black paint, but needs to buy blue paint. He needs to know the approximate area of the top of the car to determine the size of the container of blue paint he should buy. He measured the length to be 9 feet 6 inches, and the width to be 1/4 foot less than 3 feet. What is the surface area of the top of the car? What is the most accurate area Ernesto can use to buy his paint? Answer: surface area = 26.125 sq. ft.
