Algebraic properties

• Pg. 96
• Addition property
• Subtraction property
• Multiplication property

Distributive Property

• a (b c) ab ac
• Can be used to solve equations
• Example
• x 3 7 By subtracting 3 from each side of
  the equation, you obtain 4.

Example 3 Using properties in Real Life

• Before exercising, you should find your target
  heart rate. This is the rate at which you
  achieve an effective workout while not placing
  too much strain on your heart. Your target heart
  rate (r) in beats per minute can be determined
  from your age (a)in years using the equation a
  22 10/7 4

9
Find the following

1. Solve the equation for r and write a reason for
   each step.
2. Use the result to find the target heart rate for
   a 16-year old.
3. Find the target rate for the following ages 20,
   30, 40, 50, and 60. What happens to the target
   heart rate as a person gets older?

10
a. a 220 10/7 r

1. a 220 10/7r
2. a 10/7 r 220
3. 10/7r 220 a
4. r 7/10(220 a)

1. Given
2. Addition property
3. Subtraction property
4. Multiplication property

11
b. Using a 16, the target rate is

• r 7/10(220 a)
• r 7/10(220 16)
• r 142.8
• The target rate for a 16 year old is about 143
  beats per minute

1. Given
2. Substitute 16 for a
3. Simplify

12
c.

• From the table, the target heart rate appears to
  decrease as the person gets older.

Age Rate
20 140
30 133
40 126
50 119
60 112
