<strong>Chapter</strong> 98 Solving Equations and Inequalities<br />

Step 3 Use the multiplication property of equality to get just one x isolated on<br />

either side of the equation.<br />

Step 4 Check the solution in the original equation if necessary.<br />

If the original equation contains fractions, you can begin by multiplying each side<br />

by the LCD for all fractions in the equation.<br />

Evaluating Formulas [9.6]<br />

6. When w 5 8 and l 5 13<br />

the formula P 5 2w 1 2l<br />

becomes P 5 2 ? 8 1 2 ?13<br />

5 16 1 26<br />

5 42<br />

In mathematics, a formula is an equation that contains more than one variable.<br />

For example, the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P 5 2l 1 2w. We<br />

evaluate a formula by substituting values for all but one of the variables and then<br />

solving the resulting equation for that variable.
