Unit 4, Lesson 5

Solving Any Linear Equation

Grade 8

Practice

Problem 1

Solve each of these equations. Explain or show your reasoning.

\(2(x+5)=3x+1\)

\(3y-4=6-2y\)

\(3(n+2)=9(6-n)\)

Problem 2

Clare solves an equation, but when she checks her answer she notices that her solution is incorrect. She knows she made a error, but she can’t find it. Help Clare find the error and correctly solve the equation.

\(\begin{align} 12(5+2y)&=4y-(5-9y)\\ 72+24y&=4y-5-9y\\ 72+24y&=\text-5y-5\\ 24y&=\text-5y-77\\ 29y&=\text-77\\ y&=\frac {\text{-}77}{29}\ \end{align}\)

Problem 3

Solve each equation and check your solution.

\(\frac19(2m-16) = \frac13(2m+4)\)

\(\text-4(r+2)=4(2-2r)\)

\(12(5+2y)=4y-(6-9y)\)

Problem 4

ForLesson 14: More Solutions to Linear Equations

Here is the graph of a linear equation.

Select all true statements about the line and its equation.

<p>The graph of a line in the x y plane. The line crosses the y axis at 1 point 25. The line also crosses through the point negative 1 comma 1.</p><br>

Problem 5

ForLesson 9: Slopes Don't Have to Be Positive

A participant in a 21-mile walkathon walks at a steady rate of 3 miles per hour. He thinks, “The relationship between the number of miles left to walk and the number of hours I already walked can be represented by a line with slope \(\text-3\).” Do you agree with his claim? Explain your reasoning.
