Solving Equations
A brief how-to for solving equations.
Solving Equations Not Written in Standard Form
Before solving a quadratic equation, it must be written in standard form. The procedure is demonstrated.
Solving Equations That Include Rational Expressions
To solve an equation with a rational expression, rewrite the equation to get rid of the fractions then solve the new equation. The same process is used to solve linear equations that contain rational expressions. If the ..
Solving Inequalities
The procedure for solving an inequality by performing the same operation on each side of the statement.
Solving Quadratic Equations When Both Sides are Perfect Squares
Solving an equation in which both sides are perfect squares does not require putting the equation into standard form.
Solving Quadratic Equations by Factoring
A quadratic equation in which the quadratic trinomial has a leading coefficient of one can be solved by factoring. An example is given that also utilizes the zero factor property.
Solving Systems by Graphing
Graphing the solution to a system of slope-intercept form equations.
Solving Systems of Equations Using the Elimination Method by Adding
Explanation of the elimination method of solving a system of equations. Adding the equations to eliminate a variable is quicker than using the substitution method, but requires that both equations be in the same form and..
Solving Systems of Equations Using the Elimination Method by Subtraction
Another way to eliminate terms that are additive inverses is by subtraction.
Solving Systems with Fractions in the Equations
Systems of equations that contain fractions can be difficult to work with. Clearing the fractions in such a system by multiplying each equation by the least common denominator of the fractions in the equation can be a go..
