Vocabulary Review: Classify the equation(s) in which the variable is isolated.

  • The variable is isolated

Vocabulary Review: Match each equation on the left with its solution on the right.

31.

Use Your Vocabulary: Identify and categorize each statement on the left based on whether or not it is a logical deduction.

  • A multiple of 5 always ends in 0 or 5. So, 240 is a multiple of 5.
  • If a number is a whole number, it is also a rational number. So, all rational numbers must be whole numbers.
  • Consider a + b = 100 for values of a and b. When a increases, b decreases. So, when b increases, a decreases.
  • Logical deduction
  • NOT a logical deduction
