QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE ANSWERS
GRADED A+
◉ Coefficients. Answer: # associated with each of those terms is
called coefficient(12, -3, 1,15, 11, -4, -1, 3
◉ expression. Answer: adding 1 or more terms together
◉ linear equation. Answer: equation has =sign. ex of linear eq:
4x+3=11
a linear equation is one that is dependent only on constants and a
variable raised to the first power. For example, y=6x+2y=6x+2 is
linear because it has no squares, cubes, square roots, sines, etc.
Linear equations can always be manipulated to take this form:
ax+b=0
◉ rule. Answer: if you do something to one side of the equation, you
must do it to the other
, ◉ how to solve a linear equation-4 steps. Answer: 1.) get rid of
parentheses&combine like terms
◉ 2.) get all terms w/ the variable on one side& all other terms to
other side. Answer: 3.) isolate variable by dividing
◉ 4.) check answer. Answer:
◉ percents. Answer: per=dividing, cents=100, like in a dollar
◉ 41% over 100 =.41. Answer: take decimal place, move it two
places to the right
◉ solving percent equations. Answer: "of"=multiply
◉ "is"= equals. Answer: "out of"=division
◉ 96% of what #is 72?. Answer: "what" or "what #" = x(the
unknown)
.96 times x =72
.96x over .96 =72 over .96, x= 72 divided by .96
