Slope is defined as RISE over RUN. What does this mean? 

The vertical change (change in Y values) over the horizontal change (change in x values).

What is the next step? 


2(3x + 5)

2(3x) + 2(5)

200
-3x + 5x
2x
200

 -4(x + 3) 

Step 1: -4(x) + 4(3) 

Step 2: -4x + 12 

Where did Joey make a mistake?

The mistake is in Step 1. They forgot to distribute the NEGATIVE. Should be: -4(x) + (-4)(3)

200
3x + 2 = 11
x = 3

 4x - 3(x+5) = 43 

Step 1: 4x + 3x + 15 = 43

 Step 2: 7x + 15= 43 

Step 3: 7x = 28 

Step 4: x = 4 

What is the first incorrect step?

Step 1, forgot the NEGATIVE sign in front of the 3 when using Distributive Property

15x – 9 = 2x – 5x + 15 

Step 1: 15x – 9 = -3x + 15 

Step 2: 12x – 9 = 15 

Step 3: 12x = 24 

Step 4: x = 2 

What is the first incorrect step?

Step 2, you need to add 3x, not subtract.

400
2(x + 2) = 12
x = 4

5y + 5 = y + 7y – 8 

Step 1 5y + 5 = 8y – 8 

Step 2: -3y + 5 = -8 

Step 3: -3y = 3 

Step 4: y = -1 

What is the first incorrect step?

Step 3, -8 minus 5 is -13, not 3.

3x + 2 = x + 12
x = 5
