  1. Solving Equations • Algebra tiles can be used to explain and justify the equation solving process. The development of the equation solving model is based on two ideas. • Variables can be isolated by using zero pairs. • Equations are unchanged if equivalent amounts are added to each side of the equation.

  2. Solving Equations • Use the green rectangle as X and the red rectangle (flip-side) as –X (the opposite of X). X + 2 = 3 2X – 4 = 8 2X + 3 = X – 5

  3. Solving Equations X + 2 = 3 2X – 4 = 8

  4. Solving Equations 2X + 3 = X – 5

  5. Distributive Property • Use the same concept that was applied with multiplication of integers, think of the first factor as the counter. • The same rules apply. 3(X+2) • Three is the counter, so we need three rows of (X+2)

  6. Distributive Property 3(X + 2) 3(X – 4) -2(X + 2) -3(X – 2)

  7. Find the solution of LEOV below. • 2x +5 = x + 4 • 6x + 8 = 5x – 3 • 2x – 5 = 3x + 4 • 11x – 3 = 12x -9 • 2 (x + 1) = 3 (x – 4) • 4( 3 + 2x) = 9(x – 4) • 12 – 14x = 15 – 13x • 8 (x – 2) + 2(2x-1) = 3(3x-3) + 2(x+1) • 7(2x + 1) -3(4x – 5) = x + 8 • 2x ( 3x +1) = 3x (1 + 2x) -1
