Problem Solving
Linear equations are often used to solve practical problems that have an unknown quantity. We use a suitable pronumeral to represent the unknown quantity, translate the information given in the problem into an equation, and then solve the equation using the skills acquired earlier in this chapter.
Example 11
If a number is increased by 8, the result is 25. Find the number.
Solution:
Let x be the number. Increasing x by 8 gives x + 8, which we are told is 25. Therefore, x + 8 = 25. Subtract 8 from both sides to find x = 17. So, the number is 17.

Step-by-step explanation:
Translate this into symbols: 27 - 1.5x is equal to or less than 36. Find x.
Add 1.5x to both sides, so as to make the coefficient of x positive:
27 = 36 + 1.5x, or -9 = 1.5x, or x = -6 but also
x > -6
Check: let x = -6. Is the given equation then true?
27 = 36 + 1.5(-6) => -9 = -9? Yes.
Check: let x > -6. Is <span>Twenty-seven minus 1.5 of a number (x) not more than 36? 27 - 1.5(0) not more than 36? True.
Thus, x is equal to or greater than -6.</span>
