5 Solve for x: 4 - 2x = - 1 + x
3 6

___________________________________________________________________

6 Solve for y: 5(y + 3) = -2 (y - 4)

5y + 15 = -2y + 8
5y + 2y = 8 - 15
7y = -7
=> y = -1

8. Solve for x: 1 ( 4x - 6) = -3x + 2 or in linear form ( 4x - 6)/2 = -3x + 2
2
Solution:
( 4x - 6)/2 = -3x + 2
2x - 3 = -3x + 2
2x + 3x = 2 + 3
5x = 5
⇨ x = 5/5 = 1
___________________________________________________________________

9. Solve the inequality for x: 3(x-6) - 4 (4 - x) < x - 4

3x - 18 -16 + 4x < x - 4
7x - 34 < x - 4
7x - x < -4 + 34
6x < 30
Divide each side by 6
x < 5

10. Cassi's bank account exceeds Bill's by $124. The two bank accounts combined have $306. How much is in each account?

Let Bill's account balance = x
Cassi's account = x +124
The two bank accounts combined have $306.
(x +124) + x = 306

2x + 124 = 306
2x = 182

x = 182 / 2

x = 91
Bill's account = $91
Cassi's account = $91 + 124 = $215

11 After a 30% discount you pay $1155 for a tv. What was the original price of the TV?

Let the original price of TV be x dollars
Then
x - 30% of x = 1155

x - 0.3x = 1155

0.7x = 1155
x = 1155/0.7 = ...
