MODULE Equations and

Inequalities with the
Variable on Both Sides
ESSENTIAL QUESTION
How can you use equations and inequalities with variables on both
sides to solve real-world problems?

EXAMPLE 1
A tutor gives students a choice of how to pay: a base rate of $20 plus
$8 per hour, or a set rate of $13 per hour. Find the number of hours of
tutoring for which the cost is the same for either choice.

Write the equation.

Subtract 8x from both sides.

Divide both sides by 5.

The cost is the same for 4 hours of tutoring.

EXAMPLE 2
Solve 0.6y − 12.3 < 7.4 − 1.9y.

Write the inequality.

Multiply both sides by 10.

Add 123 to both sides.

© Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company

Add 19y to both sides.

Divide both sides by 25.

7. Write a real-world situation that could be modeled by the equation

650 + 10m = 60m + 400. (Lesson 11.1)

8. John is trying to decide which carpeting company to use to put

carpet in his living room. Carla’s Carpeting charges $45 plus $5.50
per square foot. Fred’s Flooring charges $195 plus $4.25 per square
foot. For what size room is Carla’s Carpeting cheaper than Fred’s
Flooring? (Lesson 11.3)

Unit 4 Performance Tasks

1. Hydraulic Engineer A hydraulic engineer is
studying the pressure in a particular fluid. The pressure is equal to the
atmospheric pressure 101 kN/m plus 8 kN/m for every meter below the
surface, where kN/m is kilonewtons per meter, a unit of pressure.
a. Write an expression for the pressure at a depth of d1 meters below the
liquid surface.
b. Write and solve an equation to find the depth at which the pressure is
200 kN/m.

c. The hydraulic engineer alters the density of the fluid so that the
pressure at depth d2 below the surface is atmospheric pressure
101 kN/m plus 9 kN/m for every meter below the surface. Write an
expression for the pressure at depth d2.

d. If the pressure at depth d1 in the first fluid is equal to the pressure

at depth d2 in the second fluid, what is the relationship between
d1 and d2? Explain how you found your answer.

Gridded responses cannot be
negative numbers. If you get a
negative value, you likely made
an error. Check your work
