Question

1. Explain how to solve the next oquation by rensoning about numbers, opera tions, and expressious rather than by using standard algebraic eqpuation-solving teclimiques 18.36 +=20·36 2. Explain how to solve the next equation by rensoning about numbers, oper tions, and expressions rather than by using standard algebraic equation-solving techniques 318 + 926% + 350 3. Explain how to solve the next equation by rensoning about mumbers, opera tions, and expressions rather than by using standard algebraic equation-solving techniques 17(z + 48) = (50 + 984).17

Explanation / Answer

1

18*36 + x = 20*36

subtract both sides by 18*36

x = 20*36 - 18*36

take 36 common from both terms

x = 36 (20 - 18)

subtract 18 from 20

x = 36*2 = 72

2.

348 + 926 = x + 350

subtract 350 from both sides

348 + 926 - 350 = x + 350 - 350

x = 924

3.

17 (x + 48) = (50+984) . 17

cancel out 17 from both sides (or divide both sides by 17)

(x+48) = (50+984)

subtract 48 form both sides

x + 48 - 48 = 50 + 984 - 48

x = 986
