3.3 Exercises Help with Homework 1. VOCABULARY What property would you use to solve m + 6 = −4? 2. VOCABULARY Name two inverse operations. 3. WRITING Are the equations m + 3 = −5 and m = −2 equivalent? Explain. 4. WHICH ONE DOESN’T BELONG? Which equation does not belong with the other three? Explain your reasoning. x + 3 = −1 x + 1 = −5 x − 2 = −6 x − 9 = −13 6)=3 9+(- 3)= 3+(- 9)= 4+(- = 1) 9+(- Solve the equation. Check your solution. 1 5. a − 6 = 13 6. −3 = z − 8 7. −14 = k + 6 8. x + 4 = −14 1 2 1 1 9. c − 7.6 = −4 10. −10.1 = w + 5.3 11. — = q + — 12. p − 3 — = −2 — 2 3 6 2 13. g − 9 = −19 14. −9.3 = d − 3.4 15. 4.58 + y = 2.5 16. x − 5.2 = −18.73 5 1 1 4 3 5 2 2 17. q + — = — 18. −2 — = r − — 19. w + 3 — = 1 — 20. 4 — + k = −3 — 9 6 4 5 8 6 5 11 21. ERROR ANALYSIS Describe and correct the error in finding the solution. ✗ x + 8 = 10 +8 +8 x = 18 Write the word sentence as an equation. Then solve. 2 22. 4 less than a number n is −15. 23. 10 more than a number c is 3. 24. The sum of a number y and −3 is −8. 25. The difference between a number p and 6 is −14. In Exercises 26 –28, write an equation. Then solve. 26. DRY ICE The temperature of dry ice is −109.3°F. This is 184.9°F less than the outside temperature. What is the outside temperature? 27.
