Chapter Three Summary




I.
Distributive property: Multiplying or adding a number by breaking
the factors into addends by place value group.
Ex: 6x49 =294 = 6x (40) + 6x (9) = 294

Associative prop. of mult. / add. : Changing the grouping of numbers
in an equation.
Ex: 4+5+(5+2)= 16 = 4+(5+5)+2=16

Commutative Prop. of Addition/Multiplication: Rearranging the
sequence of numbers in a problem.
Ex multiplication: 4 x 3 x 2 x 4=96 = 3 x 2 x 4 x 4=96

Ex addition: 3 + 4 + 6 + 7=20 = 7 + 4 + 6 + 3=20



II.

Steps to simplifying the expression 4(7x 3) + 2x

Multiply the numbers in the parenthesis by 4:
4 x 7x= 28x 3 x 4=12

Put 28x and 12 into the expression:
28x 12 + 2x

Combine like terms:
28x + 2x= 30x

This is the simplest form:
30x 12


III.

Steps to solve 7x 10 9x = -13

First combine like terms:
7x 9x = -2x

Add 10 to both sides of the equation:
-10 + 10 = 0 -13 + 10 = -3

Get rid of 2 by dividing each side of the equation by 2:
2x / 2 = x -3/2 = -1.5

Right the final solution
X = -1.5


IV.

Steps to solve 5x/6 + x/3 = 11/6

Turn all the numbers into whole numbers by taking the amount of
times the denominator of each number goes into 6, and multiplying it
by the numerator
6/6= 1 1 x 5x = 5x 6/3 = 2 2 x X = 2x 6/2=3 3 x 1= 3

6/6 = 1 1 x 11 = 11

Rewrite the problem using the whole numbers
5x + 2x 3 = 11

Combine like terms
5x + 2x = 7x

Add 3 onto both sides of the equation
-3 + 3 = 0 11 + 3 = 14

Get rid of seven by dividing both sides of the equation by 7
7x/7 = x 14/7 = 2

X = 2




V.

Steps to solve and graph the inequality 2 < x/-5

Get rid of the -5 by multiplying both sides of the inequality sign by -5
2 x -5 = -10 x/-5 x -5 = x

Switch the direction of the inequality sign
-10 > x

Switch the numbers around so the variable is on the left
X < -10

Graph




-10


VI.

-4x + 4 > -8

Take four away from both sides of the equation
4 4 = 0 -8 4 = -12

Divide both sides of the equation by -4
-4x/4 = x -8/-4 = 2

Switch the direction of the inequality sign
X < 2

Graph


2


VII.

A closed when graphing inequalities means that the number you are
graphing is part of the solution set. An open circle means the number you are
graphing is not part of the solution set. A closed circle is used when the
number is less than, greater than, OR EQUAL TO the variable sign on the
other side of the inequality sign. An open circle is used when the number is
less than or greater than the variable on the other side of the inequality sign.


VIII.

12x < 160

12x/12 = x 160/12 = 13.3
x < 13.3

She must work at least 14 weeks.


25 < B/3

25 X 3 = 75 B/3 X 3 = B
75 <B
b> 75

Brother worked more than 75 minutes on homework.


n/3 36 < 22

-36 + 36 = 0 22 + 36 = 58
n/3 x 3 = n 58 x 3 =174
n<174
