Regents Review #2
Equations
What type of Equations do we need to solve?
1) Simple Equations2) Equations with Fractions3) Quadratic Equations4) Literal Equations (solving for another variable)5) Equations that help us solve word problems
Simple Equations½ (2x – 10) = 5x – (6x + 9)
x – 5 = 5x – 6x – 9
x – 5 = -x – 9
2x = -4
x = -2
Always check solution(s) to any equation
½ (2 -2 – 10) = 5(-2) – (6 -2 + 9)
½ (-14) = -10 – (-3)
-7 = -7 It checks!
How do we solve Quadratic Equations?
1) x2 = a Example: x2 = 16 Take the square root of both sides
x = x = 4 or x = {4,-4}2) x2 + bx + c = 0 Example: x2 – 5x + 6 = 0 Set all terms equal to zero (x – 2)(x – 3)= 0 Factor
x – 2 = 0 x – 3 = 0 Set each factor equal to zero x = 2 x = 3 Solve
x = {2,3}

Equations with Fractions
There are two ways to “clear” fractions in Equations…
1) Multiply both sides of the equation by the LCD (Least Common Denominator)
2) Cross Multiply (only works for proportions )

Word Problems
We can use equations to solve many different types of word problems.When solving a word problem, remember to…
1)Define all unknowns (set up “Let” statements)2)Write an equation relating all unknowns3)Solve the equation4)Determine the value of all unknowns5)Answer the question (use appropriate units)

Word ProblemsTicket sales for a music concert totaled $2,160. Three times as many tickets were sold for the Saturday night concert than the Sunday afternoon concert. Two times as many tickets were sold for the Friday night concert than the Sunday afternoon concert. Tickets for all three concerts sold for $2 each. Find the number of tickets sold for the Saturday night concert.
x: number of tickets sold for the Sunday concert3x: number of tickets sold for the Saturday concert2x: number of tickets sold for the Friday concert
2x + 2(3x) + 2(2x) = 2160
2x + 6x + 4x = 2160 12x = 2160 x = 180

There were 540 tickets sold for the Saturday night concert
Word Problems
A person has 23 coins made up of dimes and quarters worth $3.35. How many coins of each type are there?
0.10x + 0.25(23 – x) = 3.35
10x + 25(23 – x) = 335
10x + 575 – 25x = 335 -15x + 575 = 335 -15x = -240 x = 16
16 dimes 7 quarters (23 – 16)
Check
7(25) + 16(10) = 335 175 + 160 = 335 335 = 335

Word ProblemsThe area of a rectangle is 120 square inches. If the length is two more than the width, find the dimensions of the figure. Width: x
Length: x + 2
A = lw120 = (x + 2)(x)120 = x2 + 2x0 = x2 + 2x – 1200 = (x + 12)(x – 10)x + 12 = 0 x – 10 = 0 x = -12 x = 10 Reject
The width is 10 inchesThe length is 12 inches
