EXAMPLE 1
Solve an equation with a variable on one side
Solve 4 x + 8 = 20.
5
4 x + 8 = 20
5
4 x = 12
5
x = 5 (12)
4
x = 15
Write original equation.
Subtract 8 from each side.
Multiply each side by 5 ,
the reciprocal of 4 . 4
5
Simplify.
ANSWER The solution is 15.
CHECK x = 15 in the original equation.

EXAMPLE 2
Write and use a linear equation
Restaurant
During one shift, a waiter earns wages of $30 and gets
an additional 15% in tips on customers’ food bills. The
waiter earns $105. What is the total of the customers’
food bills?
SOLUTION
Write a verbal model. Then write an equation. Write
15% as a decimal.
EXAMPLE 2
Write and use a linear equation
105 = 30 + 0.15x
75 = 0.15x
500 = x
Write equation.
Subtract 30 from each side.
Divide each side by 0.15.
ANSWER
The total of the customers’ food bills is $500.

ANSWER The solution is -5.
EXAMPLE 4
Solve an equation using the distributive property
Solve 3(5x – 8) = –2(–x + 7) – 12x.
3(5x – 8) = –2(–x + 7) – 12x
15x – 24 = 2x – 14 – 12x
15x – 24 = – 10x – 14
25x – 24 = –14
25x = 10
x= 2
