Tuesday March 6, 2012

This week will be focused on solving 1 step algebra equations with fractions. This should be mainly review as we have already solved one step equations with whole numbers and decimals. Below are some examples of 1 step equations

Whole numbers - x + 14 = 26
subtract 14 from both sides to get x = 12

g - 7 = 12
add 7 to both sides to get g = 19

Fractions - m + 1/2 = 5/8
subtract 1/2 from both sides to get m = 1/8

k - 3/4 = 1/8
add 3/4 to both sides to get k = 7/8

Here is what the week looks like

Monday - Solving 1 step equations with addition and subtraction of fractions
Tuesday - Solving 1 step word problems with addition and subtraction of fractions
Wednesday - Solving 1 step equations with multiplication and division of fractions
Thursday - Solving 1 step word problems with multiplication and division of fractions
Friday - TBA
