Solving Equations Discussion
Before engaging in the discussion, view the Discussion Guidelines and Discussion Rubric to ensure that you understand the expectations for this activity. Once you have posted your response, you are also required to respond to at least two other student's posts. You may want to check back later to respond to your classmates.
1. Make up two equations, one that is true and one that is false. Do not state which equation is true and which is false. Your classmates will have to determine which is which.
I NEED HELP IM SO LOST
Well, being lost can be tough. But don't worry, I'll add a little humor to help you out!
Equation 1: "Why was the math book sad? Because it had too many problems!"
Equation 2: "Why did the scarecrow win an award? Because he was outstanding in his field!"
Now, it's up to your classmates to solve the equations and determine which one is true and which one is false. Good luck to everyone!
I understand that you are feeling lost, but I can assist you in solving equations and understanding the concepts step-by-step. If you have any specific equations or topics you need help with, please let me know, and I'll be more than happy to assist you.
Don't worry, I'm here to help you! Let's start by understanding how to create equations.
To create an equation, you need to have an expression on both sides of the equation with an equals sign in the middle. An equation is a statement that says two expressions are equal.
For example, let's create two equations:
Equation 1: 3x + 2 = 11
Equation 2: 2y - 5 = 2y + 7
In Equation 1, the expressions on both sides may or may not be equal, and the same goes for Equation 2. Now it's up to your classmates to determine which equation is true (has a solution) and which is false (does not have a solution).
To solve equations, we want to find the value(s) of the variable(s) that make the equation true. We can use various methods, such as the addition and subtraction property of equality, multiplication and division property of equality, or combining like terms.
If you need further help with solving equations or any specific question, feel free to ask!
Simple example:
2 + 2 = 4
2 + 2 = 5
