How is distributive property used when solving an equation?
When applying distributive property to solve an equation, you multiply each term by term. For instance: a(b + c) = ab + ac
When do you use the distributive property when solving equations?
when a problem looks like this: for example: 6(5+3x) 6 x 5 = 30 and 6 x 3x = 18x so it would be 30 + 18x
Why do you use the addition property of equality?
Why? - Mainly to help in solving equations.
Why is it important to know various techniques for solving systems of equations and inequalities?
It is important to know several techniques for solving equations and inequalities because one may work better than another in a particular situation.
What is one important difference between solving equations and solving inequalities?
One important difference between solving equations and solving inequalities is that when you multiply or divide by a negative number, then the direction of the inequality must be reversed, i.e. "less than" becomes "greater than", and "less than or equal to" becomes "greater than or equal to".Actually, from a purist's sense, the reversal rule also applies with equations. Its just that the reversal of "equals" is still "equals". The same goes for "not equal to".
