Warm-Up Exercises

Subtract b from each side.

Write original equation.

Solve ax + b = c for x.STEP 1

SOLUTION

Solve ax + b = c for x. Then use the solution to solve 2x + 5 = 11.

Solve a literal equationEXAMPLE 1

xc – b

a=

ax + b = c

ax = c – b

Assume a 0. Divide each side by a.

Warm-Up ExercisesGUIDED PRACTICE for Example 1

1. a – bx = c; 12 – 5x = –3

Solve the literal equation for x. Then use the solution to solve the specific equation

Page 3: Warm-Up Exercises Subtract b from each side. Write original equation. Solve ax + b = c for x. STEP 1 SOLUTION Solve ax + b = c for x. Then use the solution

Warm-Up ExercisesGUIDED PRACTICE for Example 1

2. ax = bx + c; 11x = 6x + 20

Solve the literal equation for x. Then use the solution to solve the specific equation

Page 4: Warm-Up Exercises Subtract b from each side. Write original equation. Solve ax + b = c for x. STEP 1 SOLUTION Solve ax + b = c for x. Then use the solution

Warm-Up Exercises

Divide each side by 2.

Write original equation.

Write 3x + 2y = 8 so that y is a function of x.

EXAMPLE 2 Rewrite an equation

Subtract 3x from each side.

3x + 2y = 8

2y = 8 – 3x

32

y = 4 – x

Add 32 to each side.

SOLUTION

STEP 1 Rewrite the formula. In the problem, degrees Celsius are given and degrees Fahrenheit need to be calculated. The calculations will be easier if the formula is written so that F is a function of C.

(F – 32)59C =

F – 32C95

=

95C + 32 =F

· (F – 32)95
