6.2 Writing and Solving Equations with Variables on both

Sides

Key Concept: When you write an equation, you set two expressions equal to each other. When you solve an equation, you find the value of the variable that makes the two expressions equal. Sometimes, both expressions contain a variable term. To solve this kind of equation, bring all of the variable terms to the same side of the equation.

Part One: Modeling Expressions Example: Use algebra tiles to solve the equation 6x-9 = 4x + Your Turn: Use algebra tiles to solve the equation, 12x+7= - 8+13x

Part Two: Two Step Equation Word Problems Example: Your Turn: A town’s population is 14,000, and it is increasing by 160 people every year. A nearby town has a population of 24,000, and it is decreasing by 200 every year. In about how many years will the populations of the towns be equal.

Part Three: Solve Example:
