    Example
    Solve the following equations.
    (a) 𝒙 + 𝟑 = 𝟔
    (b) 𝒙 + 𝟒 = 𝟓𝒙 + 𝟖
    (c) 𝟐𝒙 − 𝟗 = 𝒙 + 𝟑
    (d) 𝒙𝟐 − 𝟔𝒙 + 𝟒 = 𝟒

    Bloom: Understanding
    kwkang@KMK
    Solution
    (a) 𝒙+𝟑 = 𝟔

    𝒙+𝟑=𝟔 Or 𝒙 + 𝟑 = −𝟔 Using basic definition

    𝒙=𝟑 𝒙 = −𝟗 Finish solving by


    isolating the variable.
    𝟐𝒙 − 𝟗 = 𝒙 + 𝟑
    (b) 𝒙 + 𝟒 = 𝟓𝒙 + 𝟖
    𝒙 + 𝟒 = 𝟓𝒙 + 𝟖 Or 𝒙 + 𝟒 = −(𝟓𝒙 + 𝟖) Using basic
    definition
    𝟒𝒙 = −𝟒 𝒙 + 𝟒 = −𝟓𝒙 − 𝟖

    kwkang@KMK Bloom: Understanding


    Solution (Continue…)
    𝟒𝒙 = −𝟒 𝟔𝒙 = −12
    𝒙 = −1 𝒙 = −2

    Check the answers

    When 𝒙 = −1 , When 𝒙 = −2 ,
    𝒙 + 𝟒 = −𝟏 + 𝟒 = 𝟑 𝒙 + 𝟒 = −𝟐 + 𝟒 = 𝟐
    𝟓 −𝟏 + 𝟖 = 𝟑 𝟓 −𝟐 + 𝟖 = −𝟐
    ∴ 𝒙 = −𝟏 is a solution. ∴ 𝒙 = −𝟐 is not a solution.

    ∴ 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒊𝒔 𝒙 = −𝟏.


    kwkang@KMK Bloom: Understanding
    Solution (Continue…)
    (c) 𝟐𝒙 − 𝟗 = 𝒙 + 𝟑
    𝟐𝒙 − 𝟗 𝟐
    = 𝒙+𝟑 𝟐 Squaring both sides

    𝟐𝒙 − 𝟗 𝟐
    = 𝒙+𝟑 𝟐 𝒙 = 𝒙𝟐

    𝟒𝒙𝟐 − 𝟑𝟔𝒙 + 𝟖𝟏 = 𝒙𝟐 + 𝟔𝒙 + 𝟗 Quadratic expansion


    3𝒙𝟐 − 𝟒𝟐𝒙 + 𝟕𝟐 = 𝟎 Rearranging to let RHS=0
    𝟑𝒙 − 𝟔 𝒙 − 𝟏𝟐 = 𝟎 Factorizing to get
    values x
    𝒙=𝟐 𝒐𝒓 𝒙 = 𝟏𝟐

    kwkang@KMK Bloom: Understanding


    Solution (Continue…)
    (d) 𝒙𝟐 − 𝟔𝒙 + 𝟒 = 𝟒
    𝒙𝟐 − 𝟔𝒙 + 𝟒 = 𝟒 Or 𝒙𝟐 − 𝟔𝒙 + 𝟒 = −𝟒 Definition
    𝒙𝟐 − 𝟔𝒙 = 𝟎 𝒙𝟐 − 𝟔𝒙 + 𝟖 = 𝟎 Solving to
    𝒙 𝒙−𝟔 =𝟎 𝒙−𝟒 𝒙−𝟐 = 𝟎 get values
    𝒙 = 𝟎, 𝒙=𝟔 𝒙 = 𝟒, 𝒙=𝟐 of x

    ∴ 𝑺𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒔𝒆𝒕 𝟎, 𝟐, 𝟒, 𝟔 .
