General strategy for problem solving:1) Understand the problem• Read and reread the problem• Choose a variable to represent the unknown• Construct a drawing, whenever possible
2) Translate the problem into an equation
3) Solve the equation
4) Interpret the result• Check solution• State your conclusion
Example 1:
The product of twice a number and three is the same as the difference of five times the number and ¾. Find the number.
Understand - Read and reread the problem.
- Choose a variable to represent your unknown.
If we let x = the unknown number, then
“twice a number” translates to 2x,
“the product of twice a number and three” translates to 2x · 3,
“five times the number” translates to 5x, and
“the difference of five times the number and ¾” translates to 5x - ¾ .
Example (cont.)

The product of

5x

the difference of
–
Example (cont.)
Solve
2x · 3 = 5x – ¾
6x = 5x – ¾ (simplify left side)
6x + (-5x) = 5x + (-5x) – ¾ (add –5x to both sides)
x = - ¾ (simplify both sides)
Now CHECK your answer (see if both sides produce the same answer when you put -3/4 in place of x):
Twice the product of a number and three is the same as five times the difference of the number and ¾. Find the number.
Consider the difference between the last problem:
The product of twice a number and three is the same as the difference of five times the number and ¾. Find the number.
(Answer = -3/4)Equation: 2x · 3 = 5x – ¾
Equation: 2(x · 3) = 5(x – ¾) (Answer = -15/4)
Sample homework problem:
Answer: -6
How would you set this problem up?
5(x – 4) = 4 + 5x + 4x
Example
A car rental agency advertised renting a Toyota Prius for $25 per day and $0.20 per mile. If you rent this car for 2 days, how many miles can you drive on a $100 budget?
Understand Read and reread the problem.
Just to get an idea of what’s going on in this problems, let’s start by considering what the cost would be if we were to drive a total of 100 miles over the 2 days.
In this case our equation for the total cost would come from taking
twice the daily rate and adding the fee for mileage to get
2(25) + 0.20(100) = 50.00 + 20 = $70.00.
This gives us an idea of how the cost is calculated, and we also now know that if we have $100 to spend, we can drive more than 100 miles.
Example (cont.)
Translate
Daily costs
2(25)
mileage costs
0.20x
plus
+
is equal to
= 100
maximum budget
So to generalize this specific example of 100 miles, if we let x = the number of miles driven, then 0.29x = the cost for mileage driven.
To do this problem without a calculator, we will want to convert the decimal 0.20 into the fraction 20/100.
Example (cont.)
Solve
2(25) + 20/100 x = 100
50 + 20/100 x = 100 (simplify left side)
20/100 x = 50 (simplify both sides)
50 – 50 + 20/100 x = 100 – 50 (subtract 50 from both sides)
2050
100
100 100
20 20x (multiply both sides by 100/20)
x = 50∙5 = 250 (simplify both sides)
Example (cont.)
Interpret
Check: If we replace “number of miles” in the problem with 250, then 50 + 0.20(250) = 50 + 50, which is equal to our budget of $100.
State your answer: The maximum number of miles we can drive is 250.
Answer: First piece is 4 inches, second is 12, third is 20.
Hint: Start by drawing a picture.
Example:
The sum of three consecutive integers is 366. What are the three integers?
Solution:• Call the first integer x. • Then what is the next consecutive integer?
• x + 1• And the third one?
• x + 2• So the sum would be what?
• x + x + 1 + x + 2• This simplifies to 3x + 3
• And the equation would be what?• 3x + 3 = 366
Example (cont):The sum of three consecutive integers is 366. What are the three integers?
Solution (cont):• Now solve the equation
• 3x + 3 = 366• 3x = 363• x = 363/3 = 121
• Now answer the question:• First integer = x
• x = 121• Second integer = x + 1
• = 122• Third integer = x + 2
• = 123
Example (cont):The sum of three consecutive integers is 366. What are the three integers?
Now check your solution: (121, 122, 123)
• Are these three numbers integers?• Yes
• Are they consecutive?• Yes
• Do they add up to 366?• 121 + 122 + 123 = 243 + 123 = 366• Yes
Example:
The sum of three consecutive even integers is 366. What are the three integers?
Solution:• Call the first integer x. • Then what is the next consecutive even integer?
• x + 2• And the third one?
• x + 4• So the sum would be what?
• x + x + 2 + x + 4• This simplifies to 3x + 6
• And the equation would be what?• 3x + 6 = 366
Now let’s change the problem slightly:
Example (cont):The sum of three consecutive even integers is 366. What are the three integers?
Solution (cont):• Now solve the equation
• 3x + 6 = 366• 3x = 360• x = 360/3 = 120
• Now answer the question:• First integer = x
• x = 120• Second integer = x + 2
• = 122• Third integer = x + 4
• = 124
Example (cont):The sum of three consecutive integers is 366. What are the three integers?
Now check your solution: (120, 122, 124)
• Are these three numbers integers?• Yes
• Are they even?• Yes
• Do they add up to 366?• 120 + 122 + 124 = 242 + 124 = 366• Yes
