for x= 5x + 8/ 3, you first have to clear the fraction so you multiply each side by 3. then you will subtract 5x from each side. next you use the distributive property to combine like terms. 3x-5x will become (3-5)x= - 2x. Next, you will divide each step by the coefficient of x .
Callie helped me figure out #21 from the homework last night. She showed me all the steps, so i could figure out what i was doing wrong.
On page 71, we learned how to solve formulas step-by-step. I thought that problems 1-5 were really helpful, because it helps you know how to do all of the steps, and how important each step is. The steps to solving a formula are: first you have to clear the fractions, then you have to get all of the like terms on the same side of the equation, then you must combine the like terms, then you divide each side by the coefficient, and then you have to check your work, even though it didn't say to on problems 1-5. On thursday, it really helped me when we did problem #23 on the board because I got the wrong answer, but now I understand it.
On page 71, we learned how to solve equations step by step. The step by step process was really helpful because it shows you how to go through the steps slowly and carefully. The steps are: 1. Clear Fractions (if there are any) 2. Simplify each side separately 3. Isolate the variable terms on one side 4. Isolate the variable 5. Check your work! In group work, I learned that it is very important to check with others because everyone sees math in different ways and may have different solutions or different ways of solving problems. It also really helped when JoJo went over the things that the groups didn't understand.
On page 71 we worked on solving two kinds of equations, one with coefficients and one without coefficients. We had to solve both equations one step at a time and you had to make sure you were careful so you didn't plug in anything incorrectly. In the group work Emma, Noa and I worked on figuring out how to solve equations that have you solve for a specified variable, which was very helpful.
On probelms 1-5 in 2.2 we learned how to solve two different equations step by step. We had already learned the step prosses in class so it made it simple. One of the equations had coeffients and the other did not have them. It was a helpful prosses for learning how to do the equation without coeffients and taught me that you basically solve the two equations the same way even though one doesnt have coefficients. During group work on thurseday I learned that it is very important to check your work and descuss your answers with your peers. This way you can help eachother to understand problems you didnt get and make sure that your steps were correct. I found the group work very helpful.
On page 71, I felt like this exercise was supposed to help us go through each step of the problem: First you would multiply y on both sides. This would give you ct = bt +k. You will subtract bt on both sides. You will get ct-bt =k. You then do the distributive property and get (c-b)t = k. The next step is to Isolate the variable, to do this you divide (c-b). The answer is k/c-b =t. I really liked working in the groups because a) we got to check our homework and b) because we got to ask for help on anything we did not understand. I learned that when you are doing a problem like 22, just because the variable is not a number does not mean it is useless. I enjoyed seeing what my friends had to say about their homework too!
On page 71 there were two different equations that we learned how to solve step by step. We had already been over the steps on thursday so this made them easier to understand. At first the one with coefficents would seem hardier but using the steps made it easier. During the group work me and my parter Jonothan went through our homework correcting the probelms we got wrong. I learned that if I go back and check I can learn new things and see what I did wrong.
On page 71, 1-5 were really helpful to go over each step, to make sure I know what order the steps are. We had to solve a problems to find out what the coefficients are. The group work was really helpful because Noa, Brigid and I all got different answers and it really helped to go over them to figure out what we each got wrong.
1-5 on page 71 helped me a lot because I didn't really understand the steps to solving an equation until now. It walked me through the steps so I could learn while doing. It was very helpful. Thursday was good because I got to see a lot of problems I didn't get before done for me.
page 21 taught me how to solve for two different equation step by step in order to solve for their coefficient. in my group, we figured out that we could factor out the problem: 2k+ar=r-3y to r(a-1)=r-3y. after we didn't this we could divid each side by (a-1) to get the correct answer
Page 71 taught me the steps you take to solve an equation with only variables. I knew that when you have a fraction that you you multiply it by the least common denominator but I didnt know that step applyed to problems with all variables. I thought that because since there is no number there is no common denominator.On thursday I learned that a literal equation is the appropriate formula that may be solved for a different variable than the one given
On the problems 1-5 from page 71, the book taught me how to go step by step so I don't mess up. I already knew how to solve literal equations, but on this page, it broke it down into steps I rarely consider important. Ofcourse, I forgot all about getting rid of the fractions. Then the whole checking my answers, it helped to get reminded of that. Then on Thursday, with my group we discussed how factoring out the common factor it a way to get the variable separate form everything. for example: 7k + AK = 3y + m, solve for K K(7 + A)= 3y + m *divide by (7 + A)* K = 3y + m/ (7 + A)
Page 71 (1-5) was interesting i thought it was a bit confusing, but in the group work we wne t over it a bit and i kinda figured it out. But that was about the only thing that my group got done, personally i think "group time" is a waste of class time because of the lack of organization and leadership

ReplyDeletefor example:
7k + AK = 3y + m, solve for K
K(7 + A)= 3y + m
*divide by (7 + A)*
K = 3y + m/ (7 + A)
