ALGEBRA 1 LESSON 2-4

Equations with Variables on Both
The measure ofSides
an angle is (5x – 3)°. Its vertical angle has
a measure of (2x + 12)°. Find the value of x.
5x – 3 = 2x + 12

Vertical angles are congruent.

5x – 3 – 2x = 2x + 12 – 2x

Subtract 2x from each side.

3x – 3 = 12

Combine like terms.

3x – 3 + 3 = 12 + 3

Add 3 to each side.

3x = 15

Simplify.

3x = 15
3
3

Divide each side by 3.

x = 5

Equations with Variables on Both
You can buy a skateboard
for $60 from a friend and rent the
Sides
safety equipment for $1.50 per hour. Or you can rent all items you
need for $5.50 per hour. How many hours must you use a
skateboard to justify buying your friend’s skateboard?
Relate: cost of plus equipment equals skateboard and equipment
friend’s

(continued)

60 + 1.5h = 5.5h
60 + 1.5h – 1.5h = 5.5h – 1.5h

Subtract 1.5h from each side.

60 = 4h

Combine like terms.

You must use your skateboard for more than 15 hours to justify buying the
skateboard.

Slide 6

ALGEBRA 1 LESSON 2-4

Equations with Variables on Both
Solve each equation.
Sides
–6z + 8 = z + 10 – 7z
–6z + 8 = z + 10 – 7z
–6z + 8 = –6z + 10
Combine like terms.
–6z + 8 + 6z = –6z + 10 + 6z Add 6z to each side.
8 = 10
Not true for any value of z!
This equation has no solution
b.
4 – 4y = –2(2y – 2)
4 – 4y = –2(2y – 2)
4 – 4y = –4y + 4
Use the Distributive Property.
4 – 4y + 4y = –4y + 4 + 4y
Add 4y to each side.
4 = 4
Always true!
The equation is true for every value of y, so the equation is an identity.
