Speaker
How do you get rid of fractions in equations?
multiply every term by the denominators
What are the steps to solve an equation?
- Remember the goal - What does 1 of the unknown equal?
- Choose the sides for the variables and constants.
- On the variable side, if not a variable, get rid of it by using the
opposite operation on both sides.
- On the constant side, if not a constant, get rid of it by using the
opposite operation on both sides.
- If not only 1 of variable, get rid of coefficient by using the
opposite operation on both sides.
What question do you need to ask if the equation is an inequality?
if you multiply or divide by a negative, change the direction of the sign.

10-25

Speaker
What are the rules when multiplying and dividing positives and negatives?
if the signs are the same, it is positive.
if the signs are different, it is negative.
What are the rules when adding and subtracting positives and negatives?
if the signs are the same, add, remember the sign.
if the signs are different, subtract, use the sign of the large number.

What is the price of four tires, mounted & balanced, frontend aligned from each store?
Which is the best deal?
Trussville Place:
89.00 (4) = 356.00
356.00 (.05) = 17.80
356.00 - 17.80 = 338.20
338.20 + 4 (10.00) = 378.20
378.20 (.10) = 37.82
378.20 + 37.82 = 416.02

Whole price - discount = new price
Price of tires + mounting and balancing
