Math 2 – Variable Manipulation Part 2 Student COMPARING EQUATIONS (EQUAL TO) When comparing two problems, set part of the equations to be the same, then set the rest of the equation to be equal and solve. Look at the problem to determine similarities. In many problems, set the base to be the same. Example: If 92x-1 = 33x+3 , then x - ? Solution: Express the left side of the equation so that both sides have the same base:
Now that the bases are the same, just set the exponents equal: 4x – 2 = 3x + 3 4x – 3 = 3 + 2 X = 5 Other problems will have similar numerators or denominators. Make them exactly the same and set the rest of the equation to be equal.
Example: What is the sum of all solutions to 4𝑥
𝑥−1 =
4𝑥
2𝑥+2?
Solution: Since the numerators are both 4x, set the denominators equal to each other x – 1 = 2x + 2 -x – 2 -x - 2 -3 = x Sample Questions:
1. In real numbers, what is the solution of the equation 82x + 1 = 41 - x ?
2. Which real number satisfies (2n)(8) = 163 ?
3. If 38x = 813x - 2, what is the value of x?
4. If a, b, and c or consecutive positive integers and 2a x 2b x 2c = 512, then a + b + c = ?
5. If 4√9

ADDING AND SUBTRACTING POLYNOMIALS To add or subtract polynomials, combine like terms: (3x2 + 5x - 7) - (x2 + 12) = (3x2 - x2 ) + 5x + (-7 - 12) = 2x2 + 5x - 19
Sample Questions: 6. (6a – 12) – (4a + 4) = ?
7. x2 + 60x + 54 – 59x – 82x2 is equivalent to:
8. For all x, x2 – (3x – 2) + 2x(4x – 1) = ?
9. What polynomial must be added to x2 – 2x + 6 so that the sum is 3x2 + 7x? MULTIPLYING MONOMIALS To multiply monomials, multiply the numbers and the variables separately:
2a x 3a = (2 x 3)(a x a) = 6a2
Sample Questions: 10. Which of the following is an equivalent form of x + x(x + x + x)?
a. 5x b. x2 + 3x c. 3x2 + x d. 5x2 e. x3 + x
11. Which of the following is NOT a solution of (x – 5)(x – 3)(x + 3)(x + 9) = 0? a. 5 b. 3 c. -3 d. -5 e. -9
SOLVING "IN TERMS OF" To solve an equation for one variable in terms of another means to isolate the one variable that you are solving for on one side of the equation, leaving an expression containing the other variable on the other side. To solve 3x - 1Oy = -5x + 6y for x in terms of y, isolate x:
3x - 10y = -5x + 6y 3x + 5x = 6y + 1Oy 8x = 16y x= 2y

Sample Questions: 12. For all pairs of real numbers M and N where M = 6N + 5, N = ?
13. If the expression x3 + 2hx - 2 is equal to 6 when x = -2, what is the value of h?
14. What is the value of the expression (x – y)2 when x = 5 and y = –1 ?
15. How many ordered pairs (x,y) of real numbers will satisfy the equation 5x – 7y = 13?
Equivalent Forms Besides plugging in numbers to get an answer, solving in terms of x or another variable, there are ways to simplify equations and express them as equivalent equations. This can be accomplished in many ways. Equations will be equivalent as long as all mathematical rules are followed. Example: Which expression below is equivalent to w(x – (y + z))?
a. wx – wy – wz b. wx – wy + wz c. wx – y + z d. wx – y - z e. wxy + wxz
Solution: To find an equivalent for the given expression, use the distributive property. First, evaluate the inner parentheses according to the order of operations, or PEMDAS. Distribute the negative sign to (y + z) to get w(x – y – z). Next, distribute the variable w to all terms in parentheses to get wx – wy – wz or A. Choice B fails to distribute the negative sign to the z term. Choices C and D only distribute the w to the first term. Choice E incorrectly distributes wx to the (y + z) term.
Sample Questions: 16. Which of the following is a simplified form of 4x – 4y + 3x?
a. x(7 – 4y) b. x – y + 3x c. -8xy + 3x d. 7x – 4y e. -4y -x

21. If W = XYZ, then which of the following is an expression for Z in terms of W, X, and Y?
a. 𝑋𝑌
𝑊
b. 𝑊
𝑋𝑌
c. WXY d. W – XY e. W + XY
22. The expression a[(b – c) + d] is equivalent to: a. ab + ac + ad b. ab – ac + d c. ab – ac + ad d. ab – c + d e. a – c + d
UNDERSTANDING CHANGES IN VALUES Another way to evaluate algebraic equations is to look at what happens to the equation as you change the values of the variables. For example, if you increase the value of the denominator, a number will decrease in value. One way to look at these types of questions is to plug in various numbers and see what happens to the answer. Example: Let n equal 3a + 2b -7. What happens to the value of n if the value of a increases by 2 and the value of b decreases by 1?
a. It is unchanged. b. It decreases by 1. c. It increases by 4. d. It decreases by 4. e. It decreases by 2.
Solution: Set a = 1 and b = 1 and 3a + 2b -7 becomes 3(1) + 2(1) – 7 = 3 + 2 – 7 = -2. Then increase a by 2 and decrease b by 1 and which will mean to set a = 3 and b = 0 and the equation becomes 9 + 0 – 7 = 2. The answer increased by 4. Try a second set of numbers to verify the same result. Set a = 2 and b = 2 to get 3(2) + 2(2) -7 = 6 + 4 – 7 = 3. Increase a by 2 and decrease b by 1 which becomes a = 4 and b = 1. Substituting into the equation to get 12 + 2 – 7 = 7. This answer is also increased by 4. So the answer is c.

MULTIPLYING BINOMIALS-FOIL To multiply binomials, use FOIL: First, Outer, Inner, Last:
Example: (x + 3)(x + 4)
First multiply the First terms: x x x = x2 Next the Outer terms: x x 4 = 4x. Then the Inner terms: 3 x x = 3x. And finally the Last terms: 3 x 4 = 12. Then add and combine like terms: x2 + 4x + 3x + 12 = x2 + 7x + 12. Sample Questions:

FACTORING OUT A COMMON DIVISOR A factor common to all terms of a polynomial can be factored out. All three terms in the polynomial 3x3 + 12x2 - 6x contain a factor of 3x. Pulling out the common factor yields 3x(x2 + 4x - 2). Remember that if you factor a term out completely, you are still left with 1: in the expression 6x2 + 9x + 3, you can factor a 3 out of everything. You're left with 3(2x2 + 3x + 1). Sample Questions:
33. –x2 – x + px
34. 36x2 - 64y4
35. 3x3 + 27x2 + 9x FACTORING THE DIFFERENCE OF SQUARES One of the test maker's favorite classic quadratics is the difference of squares. a2 - b2 = (a - b)(a + b) Example: x2 - 9 factors to (x - 3)(x + 3). FACTORING THE SQUARE OF A BINOMIAL There are two other classic quadratics that occur regularly on the ACT: a2 + 2ab + b2 = (a + b)2 a2 - 2ab + b2 = (a - b)2 For example, 4x2 + 12x + 9 factors to (2x + 3)2 and n2 - 10n + 25 factors to (n - 5)2. Recognizing a classic quadratic can save a lot of time on Test Day-be on the lookout for these patterns. (HINT: Any time you have a quadratic and one of the numbers is a perfect square, you should check for one of the patterns.) Square binomials can also be treated the same way as regular foil problems after writing out the binomial. Example: (2x – 4)2 (2x -4)(2x -4) = 4x2 - 8x - 8x + 16 = 4x2 – 16x + 16 This answer is in the form a2 - 2ab + b2 = (a - b)2 Sample Questions:

37. For all x,(3x + 7)2 = ?

FACTORING OTHER POLYNOMIALS-FOIL IN REVERSE To factor a quadratic expression, think about what binomials you could use FOIL on to get that quadratic expression. To factor x2 - 5x + 6, think about what First terms will produce x what Last terms will produce + 6, and what Outer and Inner terms will produce -5x. If there is no number in front of the first term, you are looking for two numbers that add up to the middle term and multiply to the third term. So here, you'd want two numbers that add up to -5 and multiply to 6. (Pay attention to sign-negative vs. positive makes a big difference here!) The correct factors are (x - 2)(x - 3). You can also solve for x for each factor. In this case x = 2 and x = 3.
Note: Not all quadratic expressions can be factored. These expressions will be covered in Math 2.
Sample Questions:
39. What is the product of the two real solutions of the equation 2x = 3 - x2 ?
40. Which of the following is a factored form of the expression 5x2 – 13x – 6 ? a. (x – 3)(5x + 2) b. (x – 2)(5x – 3) c. (x – 2)(5x + 3) d. (x + 2)(5x – 3) e. (x + 3)(5x – 2)
41. If x2 – 45b2 = 4xb, what are the 2 solutions for x in terms of b?
42. What values of x are solutions for x2 - 2x = 8?

SIMPLIFYING AN ALGEBRAIC FRACTION Simplifying an algebraic fraction is a lot like simplifying a numerical fraction. The general idea is to find factors common to the numerator and denominator and cancel them. Thus, simplifying an algebraic fraction begins with factoring, which often involves reverse-FOIL.
To simplify 𝑥2−𝑥−12
𝑥2−9, first factor the numerator and denominator:
𝑥2−𝑥−12
𝑥2−9 =
(𝑥−4)(𝑥+3)
(𝑥−3)(𝑥+3)
Canceling x + 3 from the numerator and denominator leaves you with (𝑥−4)
(𝑥−3).
Sample Questions:
46. If x is any number other than 3 and 6, then (𝑥−3)(𝑥−6)
(3−𝑥)(𝑥−6) = ?
47. For x2 ≠ 169, (𝑥−13)2
𝑥2−169 = ?

ADDING ALGEBRAIC FRACTIONS (GREATEST COMMON FACTOR IN DENOMINATOR) To add fractions, the denominators must be the same. Therefore, as a common denominator choose the LCM of the original denominators. The least common denominator must be a multiple of the denominator of each of the fractions. First find the least common denominator. Then, convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with the same denominator by multiplying each fraction by the missing factors. Finally, add the fractions together and reduce as necessary.
Example: Add 3
𝑎𝑏 +
4
𝑏𝑐 +
5
𝑐𝑑
Solution: The least common denominator is abcd because each of these variables are included in at least one
of the denominators. To change 3
𝑎𝑏 into an equivalent fraction with denominator abcd, simply multiply ab by
the factors it is missing, namely cd. Therefore, we must also multiply 3 by cd. That accounts for the first term
in the numerator. To change 4
𝑏𝑐 into an equivalent fraction with denominator abcd, multiply bc by the factors
it is missing, namely ad. Therefore, we must also multiply 4 by ad. That accounts for the second term in the
numerator. To change 5
𝑐𝑑 into an equivalent fraction with denominator abcd, multiply cd by the factors it is
missing, namely ab. Therefore, we must also multiply 5 by ab. That accounts for the last term in the numerator. Remember that EACT factor of the original denominators must be a factor of the common denominator. 3

Solution: The least common denominator must be a multiple of the denominator of each of the three given fractions. Take the factors of each denominator (3, 5, 7, 11) to the highest powers they appear: 32 (first fraction), 52 (second fraction), 7 (second fraction), and 113 (third fraction). This results in 32 x 52 x 7 x 113, choice D. Choice E is the product of all three denominators and its wrong because choice D is smaller and still a multiple of all three denominators; in other words, both are common denominators but D is the “least”.

SOLVING A QUADRATIC EQUATION To solve a quadratic equation, put it in the form of ax2 +bx + c = 0 - in other words, set it equal to 0. Then factor the left side (if you can), and set each factor equal to 0 separately to get the two solutions. To solve x2 + 12 = 7x, first subtract 7x from both sides of the equation, which gives you x2 - 7x + 12 = 0. Then use reverse-FOIL to factor the left side: (x - 3)(x - 4) = 0 x - 3 = 0 or x - 4 = 0 x = 3 or 4
Sometimes the left side might not be obviously factorable. You can always use the quadratic formula. Just plug in the coefficients a, b, and c from ax2 + bx+ c = 0 into the formula:
−𝑏 ± √𝑏2 − 4𝑎𝑐
2𝑎
To solve x2 + 4x + 2 = 0, plug a = 1, b = 4, and c = 2 into the formula:
−4 ± √42 − 4 ∗ 1 ∗ 2
2 ∗ 1
−4 ± √8
2 = -2 ±√2
Whether you use reverse-FOIL or the quadratic equation, you will almost always get two solutions, or roots, to the equation.
Sample Questions: 54. For a certain quadratic equation, ax2 + bx + c = 0, the solutions are x = 0.75 and x = - 0.4. Which of the
following could be factors of ax2 + bx + c? a. (4x - 3) AND (5x + 2) b. (4x - 2) AND (5x + 3) c. (4x + 2) AND (5x - 3) d. (4x + 3) AND (5x - 2) e. (4x + 3) AND (5x + 2)
55. For what nonzero whole number k does the quadratic equation y2 + 2ky + 4k = 0 have exactly one real solution for y?

a. 6 b. 30 c. 46 d. 64 e. 80
SOLVING A SYSTEM OF EQUATIONS You can solve for two variables only if you have two distinct equations. If you have one variable, you only need one equation, but if you have two variables, you need two distinct equations. Two forms of the same equation will not be adequate. If you have three variables, you need three distinct equations, and so on. Combine the equations in such a way that one of the variables cancels out.
To solve the two equations 4x + 3y = 8 and x + y = 3, multiply both sides of the second equation by -3 to get: -3x - 3y = -9. Now add the equations; the 3y and the -3y cancel out, leaving x = -1: 4x + 3y = 8 +(-3x - 3y = -9) X = -1
Plug that back into either one of the original equations and you'll find that y = 4. Sample Questions:
59. If mn = k and k =x2n, and nk ≠ 0, which of the following is equal to m? a. 1 b. 1/x
