Thermometer - Positive and Negative Numbers

Here are three situations involving changes in temperature. Represent each change on the applet, and draw it on a number line. Then, answer the questions.[br][br][list=1][*]At noon, the temperature was 5 degrees Celsius. By late afternoon, it has risen 6 degrees Celsius. What was the temperature late in the afternoon?[br][br][/*][*]The temperature was 8 degrees Celsius at midnight. By dawn, it has dropped 12 degrees Celsius. What was the temperature at dawn?[br][/*][/list]
Discuss with a partner!
How did you name the resulting temperature in each situation? Did both of you refer to each resulting temperature by the same name or different names?[br]
What does it mean when the resulting temperature is above 0 on the number line? What does it mean when a temperature is below 0?[br]
Do numbers below 0 make sense outside of the context of temperature? If you think so, give some examples to show how they make sense. If you don’t think so, give some examples to show otherwise.[br]

Linear Equations, Systems and Problems

1. Linear Equaitions
These equations are know as [b]linear[/b], because the [b]monomial literal part[/b] doesn't have an exponent (for example, [i]3x[/i] can be part of a linear equation, but [i]3x[sup]2[/sup][/i] can't because it's quadratic), so represented in a graph appear as a line. This fact assures us that if there is a solution, there can only be one solution (except in special cases were there are infinite solutions).[br][br]We say [i][b]if there is a solution[/b][/i] because sometimes equations don't have solutions. For example, the equation [i]x = x + 1[/i] (which means a number equals the consecutive number) doesn't have a solution, because this is never true. In reality, this equation is reduced to [i]1 = 0[/i], which is impossible.
Tips
[list][br][*]If we obtain an [b]impossible equality[/b], there is no solution, like [i]1 = 0[/i].[/*][/list][list][*]If we obtain an [b]equality that is always true[/b], whatever value gives a solution, then the solution is all real numbers. For example, if we obtain [i]0 = 0[/i].[br][/*][/list][list][*]When there are [b]denominators[/b] and we want to avoid them, we multiply the full equation by the same [b]least common multiple[/b] of the denominators. This way when we simplify, they disappear.[br][/*][/list][list][*][b]To remove the parenthesis[/b], we multiply the coefficient in front of it by all the elements it contains. This coefficient can be a negative sign (like –1, the content changes sign), a positive sign (like +1, the content doesn't change) or a positive or negative number or fractions (this number multiplies everything in the parentheses, changing the signs if its negative).[br][/*][/list][list][*]When we have a [b]nested parenthesis[/b], a parenthesis inside another parenthesis, we begging removing from outside to the inside. First, we remove the exterior parenthesis (multiplying it's content by the coefficients) and afterwards, we remove the rest the same way: from the most exterior to the interior.[br][/*][/list]
[b]Example 1[/b][br][br][img]https://www.matesfacil.com/ESO/Ecuaciones/Ecua1.jpg[/img][br]We add (or subtract) the monomials on the literal part (the [i]x[/i]'s with [i]x[/i]'s and numbers with numbers). What is adding on one side, will change to the other side subtracting and vice versa.[br]Afterwards, we put the [i]x[/i]'s to one side of the equality and the numbers to the other.[br][br][img]https://www.matesfacil.com/ESO/Ecuaciones/Ecua1-1.jpg[/img][br][br][b]Example 2[br][br][/b][b][img]https://www.matesfacil.com/ESO/Ecuaciones/Ecua3.jpg[/img][br][/b]First, we remove the parenthesis: because it has a negative sign in front of it, we chance the sign of all the elements in the inside.[br]Afterwards, all we need is to group the [i]x[/i]'s at one side and the numbers at the other.[br][br][img]https://www.matesfacil.com/ESO/Ecuaciones/Ecua1-3.jpg[/img][br]Because the [i]x[/i] has a coefficient, 2, that is multiplying, it moves to the other side dividing.[br][br][b]More examples:[br][/b][list][br][*][url=https://www.matesfacil.com/english/secondary/linear-equations-solved.html]Solved linear equations[/url][br][*][url=https://www.matesfacil.com/english/secondary/resolved-problems-linear-equations.html]Solved problems of linear equations[/url][br][/list]
2. Linear equation system
A [b]linear equation system[/b] is a group of equations (linear) that have more than one [b]unknown factor[/b]. The unknown factors appear in various equations, but doesn't need to be in all of them. What these equations do is relate all the unknown factors amongst themselves. For example:[br][br][img]https://www.matesfacil.com/ESO/Ecuaciones/SistEcua1.png[/img][br][br]We have basically thre methods for solving a system: [br][br][list][br][*][b]Substitution (elimination of variables):[/b] It consists in isolating one of the unknown factors (for example [i]x[/i]) and substitute that expression in the other equation. This way we obtain a first degree equation with the unknown factor [i]y[/i]. Once resolved, we obtain the value of [i]x[/i] using the value of [i]y[/i] we know.[br][/*][*][b]Addition, Reduction or row reduction:[/b] It consists in operating the equations, for example, adding or subtracting both equations so one of the unknown factors disappears. This way we obtain an equation with only one known factor.[br][/*][/list][list][*][b]Equalization:[/b] It consists in isolating from both equations the same unknown factor to be able to equal both expression, obtaining one equation with one unknown factor.[br][/*][/list][br][b]Example 1: substitution[br][/b][b][br][/b][b][img]https://www.matesfacil.com/ESO/Ecuaciones/SistEcua1.png[/img][br][/b][br]We isolate the [i]x[/i] from the first equation:[br][br][img]https://www.matesfacil.com/ESO/Ecuaciones/SistEcua1-1.png[/img][br]And we substitute it in the second:[br][br][img]https://www.matesfacil.com/ESO/Ecuaciones/SistEcua1-2.png[/img][br][br]We work out [i]x[/i] knowing [i]y[/i]:[br][br][img]https://www.matesfacil.com/ESO/Ecuaciones/SistEcua1-3.png[/img][br][br]Therefor, the solution to the system is[br][br][img]https://www.matesfacil.com/ESO/Ecuaciones/SistEcua1-4.png[/img][br][b]Example 2: addition[br][br][/b][b][img]https://www.matesfacil.com/ESO/Ecuaciones/SistEcua1.png[/img][br][/b][br]We multiply by –2 the first equation, we add the equations and resolve the equation we have obtained[br][br][img]https://www.matesfacil.com/ESO/Ecuaciones/SistEcua1-9.png[/img][br][br]We replace the value of [i]y[/i] in the first equation and we solve it:[br][br][img]https://www.matesfacil.com/ESO/Ecuaciones/SistEcua1-10.png[/img][br][br]Therefor, the solution to the system is[br][br][img]https://www.matesfacil.com/ESO/Ecuaciones/SistEcua1-11.png[/img][br][br][b]Example 3: equalization [br][br][/b][b][img]https://www.matesfacil.com/ESO/Ecuaciones/SistEcua1.png[/img][br][/b][br]We isolate [i]y[/i] from both equations:[br][br][img]https://www.matesfacil.com/ESO/Ecuaciones/SistEcua1-5.png[/img][br][br]We equal both expressions and we resolve the equation:[br][br][img]https://www.matesfacil.com/ESO/Ecuaciones/SistEcua1-6.png[/img][br][br]Substituting in the first of the previous equations,[br][br][img]https://www.matesfacil.com/ESO/Ecuaciones/SistEcua1-7.png[/img][br][br]Therefor, the solution to the system is[br][br][img]https://www.matesfacil.com/ESO/Ecuaciones/SistEcua1-8.png[/img][br][br][b]More examples:[br][/b][list][br][*][url=https://www.matesfacil.com/english/secondary/solving-linear-equation-systems.html]Solving a linear equation system[/url][br][br][*][url=https://www.matesfacil.com/english/secondary/resolved-problems-linear-equation-systems.html]Solved problems of linear equation systems[/url][br][/list]
