Expressions, Equations & Inequalities
• Arithmetic expressions are comprised of numbers and operation signs.
• Algebraic expressions contain one or more variables.
• The parts of expressions that are separated by addition or subtraction signs are called terms.
• The numerical factor is called the coefficient.
Example 5: 4x2 +7xy – 3
• It has three terms: 4x2, 7xy, and 3. • For 4x2, the coefficient is 4 and the
variable factor is x. • For 7xy, the coefficient is 7 and the
variable factors are x and y. • The third term, 3, has no variables
and is called a constant.
Example 6:The Jones family has twice as many tomato plants as pepper plants. If there are 21 plants in their garden, how many plants are pepper plants?• How should we approach the solution
to this equation?
tomato plant: 2x
pepper plant: x 2x x 21 x 7
Example 7:Find 2 consecutive integers whose sum is 225.
first: x
second: x + 1x x 1 225

Writing Linear & Exponential Equations
• If the numbers are going up or down by a constant amount, the equation is a linear equation and should be written in the form y = mx + b.
• If the numbers are going up or down by a common multiplier (doubling, tripling, etc.), the equation is an exponential equation and should be written in the form y = a(b)x.
Create the equation of the line for each of the following tables.

x y0 -51 32 113 19

11. Linear Word ProblemEnzo is celebrating his birthday and his mom gave him $50 to take his friends out to celebrate. He decided he was going to buy appetizers and desserts for everyone. It cost 5 dollars per dessert and 10 dollars per appetizer. Enzo is wondering what kind of combinations he can buy for his friends.
a) Write an equation using 2 variables to represent Enzo’s purchasing decision. (Let a = number of appetizers and d = number of desserts.)
b) Use your equation to figure out how many desserts Enzo can get if he buys 4 appetizers.
c) How many appetizers can Enzo buy if he buys 6 desserts?

Solving Exponential Equations
• If the bases are the same, you can just set the exponents equal to each other and solve the resulting linear equation.
• If the bases are not the same, you must make them the same by changing one or both of the bases.– Distribute the exponent to the given
exponent.– Then, set the exponents equal to each other
and solve.
Reasoning with Equations & Inequalities
• Understanding how to solve equations
• Solve equations and inequalities in one variable
• Solve systems of equations• Represent and solve equations and
inequalities graphically.
Important Tips
• Know the properties of operations
• Be familiar with the properties of equality and inequality. (Watch out for the negative multiplier.)
• Eliminate denominators (multiply by denominators to eliminate them)
Properties to know• Addition Property of Equality• Subtraction Property of Equality• Multiplication Property of Equality• Division Property of Equality• Reflexive Property of Equality• Symmetric Property of Equality• Transitive Property of Equality• Commutative Property of Addition and

Example 18• You are selling tickets for a basketball
game. Student tickets cost $3 and general admission tickets cost $5. You sell 350 tickets and collect $1450.
• Use a system of linear equations to determine how many student tickets you sold?Student: x
General:y
