Multi-Step Equations (continued)


Solve Equations with Variables on Each Side (Lesson 3D)
Solve each equation. Check your solution.


  1. m + 1 = 2 m + 7

  2. 12 b = 7 b + 5

  3. 3.21 - 7 y = 10 y - 1.89

  4. VIDEOS A video store has two
    membership plans. Under plan A, a
    yearly membership costs $30 plus $1.50
    for each rental. Under plan B, the yearly
    membership costs $12 plus $3 for each
    rental. What number of rentals results in
    the same yearly cost?


EXAMPLE 10 Solve 5x + 4 = 3 x - 2.

5 x + 4 = 3 x - 2


  • 3 x = - 3 x Subtraction Property of Equality
    2 x + 4 = - 2 Simplify.

  • 4 = - 4 Subtraction Property of Equality
    2 x = - 6 Simplify.
    ^22 x = - 26 Division Property of Equality
    x = - 3 Simplify.


Lesson 3

Inequalities


Solve Inequalities by Addition or Subtraction (Lesson 4B)
Solve each inequality. Check your solution.


  1. m + 3 < 9 49. 4 ≥ 6 + n

  2. x + ^34 ≤ 5 51. - 1 31 < g - 5

  3. LIFTING Ben is training for football and is
    lifting 120 pounds on the bench press. He
    can lift a maximum of 180 pounds. Write
    and solve an inequality to determine
    how much additional weight Ben can lift.


EXAMPLE 11 Solve x + 5 ≥ 7. Check
your solution.
x + 5 ≥ 7 Write the inequality.


  • 5 - 5 Subtract 5 from each side.
    x ≥ 2 Simplify.


Check x + 5 ≥ 7 Write the inequality.
2 + 5  7 Replace greater than or equal to 2.x with a number
7 ≥ 7  This statement is true.

Solve Inequalities by Multiplication or Division (Lesson 4C)
Solve each inequality.

_ 3 < 6 54. _2.4w ≤ 3


  1. -0.9d > 6.3 56. - 42 ≤ 6 y

  2. SHOPPING Jess wants to spend less than
    $18.75 on new socks. Each pack costs $6.
    Write and solve an inequality to find the
    maximum number of packs she can buy.


EXAMPLE 12 Solve - 3 k ≥ 33.


  • 3 k ≥ 33 Write the inequality.
    --^33 k ≤ -^333 Divide each side by and reverse the symbol.-^3
    k ≤ - 11 Simplify.


The solution is k ≤ -11.
