MATHEMATICS 1 REGULAR ON-LINE DISCUSSION OF LESSONSJune 29 - July 5, 2009Please study the following examples. Answer all activities on a short bond paper.Please use our format in labeling homework. Write your complete solutions. Do notforget to write the activity number (i.e. activity # 1, activity # 2, etc.). You areexpected to submit your answers to all four activities on July 6, 2009 (Monday).Lesson 1: Chapter 7- Solving EquationsPart 1: Simple Equations
For the activities below in this part, you should be able to:1.
 
Apply addition and multiplication properties of equality to solve algebraic equations.2.
 
Check your solutions by substituting the answer back to the original equation.

A. Before doing the activity, kindly visit the following sites for better understanding.http://www.coolmath.com/algebra/Algebra1/03SolveEquations/01_balanced.htm http://www.coolmath.com/algebra/Algebra1/03SolveEquations/02_whattodo1.htm http://www.coolmath.com/algebra/Algebra1/03SolveEquations/03_whattodo2.htm http://www.coolmath.com/algebra/Algebra1/03SolveEquations/04_whattodo3.htm B. Study the following solutions and take note of the justification after every step.Examples:1. a – 9 =21 givena – 9 +9= 21 +9APE a = 30 Addition factWe are not done yet. You have to check your answer. If the value that you gotfor y is -7, replace the variable y with the value -7 and check if the left hand side(LHS) of the equation would be equal to the right hand side (RHS) of the equationCheck/verify:a – 9
