EQUAÇÃO DO 1º GRAU: Teoria e Interpretação | Matemática Básica - Aula 14
Introduction to Equations of the First Degree
In this section, the instructor introduces the concept of equations of the first degree and explains their importance in various exams and school curriculum.
Definition and Characteristics of Equations of the First Degree
- An equation of the first degree is a mathematical expression that can be written in the form ax + b = 0, where a and b are real numbers.
- The variable x represents an unknown value that we need to find.
- If the variable x has an exponent greater than 1, it becomes an equation of a higher degree.
- The coefficients a and b determine the characteristics of the equation. The coefficient a cannot be zero.
Identifying Coefficients in Equations
- Coefficient "a" is multiplied by the variable x, while coefficient "b" is independent of x.
- Changing signs or multiplying an equation by a constant does not alter its solutions.
Examples of Equations with Different Coefficients
- Example 1: 2x - 5 = 0 (a = 2, b = -5)
- Example 2: -2x + 15 = 0 (a = -2, b = 15)
- Example 3: (12 - 3x) / (4 - 2x) = 0 (a = -11, b = 48)
Solving Equations with Different Coefficients
This section focuses on solving equations with different coefficients using algebraic manipulation.
Manipulating Equations to Identify Coefficients
- Rearranging terms allows us to identify coefficients easily.
- Example: Transforming equation "3x - 2x + (-4) - (-1) = 0" to "3x - 2x - 4 + 1 = 0" (a = 1, b = -3)
Multiplying Equations by Constants
- Multiplying an equation by a constant on both sides does not change the solutions.
- Example: Multiplying the equation "-2x + 15 = 0" by -1 results in "2x - 15 = 0" (a = 2, b = -15)
Impact of Coefficient Changes on Solutions
- Changing coefficients alters the values of a and b but does not affect the solution set.
Summary and Conclusion
This section summarizes the key points discussed in the video.
- Equations of the first degree are essential in mathematics and exams.
- They can be written in the form ax + b = 0, where a and b are coefficients.
- The coefficient a cannot be zero for it to be an equation of the first degree.
- Manipulating equations and changing coefficients do not change their solutions.

Understanding Equations and Solutions
In this section, the speaker explains how to find the roots of an equation and discusses different types of solutions for equations.
Finding Roots of Equations
- To find the root of an equation, solve it by isolating the variable.
- Example: Given the equation 3x = 12 + 13, we can simplify it to x = (12 + 13)/3 = 4. Therefore, x = 4 is the root of this equation.
Types of Solutions for First-Degree Equations
- First-degree equations typically have a single solution.
- They can have infinite solutions or no solution in some cases.
Single Solution
- Example: For the equation 5x - 3x = 6 + 8, simplifying gives us 2x = 14. Dividing both sides by 2, we get x = 7. This represents a single solution.
Infinite Solutions
- Example: For the equation 4 + 2x = 10, simplifying gives us x = (10 - 4)/2 = 3. Since any value substituted for x will satisfy this equation (e.g., x=1, x=5), it has infinite solutions.
No Solution
- Example: For the equation 10x =6, since multiplying any number by zero results in zero, there is no value of x that satisfies this equation. It is considered an impossible or empty set solution.
Summary:
Equations can have different types of solutions. Some equations have a single solution, while others may have infinite solutions or no solution at all. It is important to understand how to isolate variables and solve equations to find their roots accurately.
Understanding Prime Numbers and Least Common Multiple (LCM)
In this section, the concept of prime numbers and least common multiple (LCM) is explained. The process of finding LCM using multiplication is demonstrated.
Prime Numbers and Multiplication
- Prime numbers are numbers that are only divisible by 1 and themselves.
- To find the LCM of two numbers, multiply them together twice.
- Example: LCM of 2 and 3 is found by multiplying them together twice: 2 x 3 x 2 = 12.
Finding LCM Using Division
- Divide the LCM by one number and multiply it by the other number.
- Example: For 6 / 2 = 3, multiply it by the remaining number (13), resulting in 9.
- Repeat this process for other divisions to find the final LCM.
Solving Equations with Contextualized Problems
This section emphasizes solving equations in real-life contexts, such as industrial or economic scenarios. It highlights the importance of reading and interpreting problem statements accurately.
Applying Equations to Real-Life Problems
- Equations in real-life problems require understanding contextual information.
- Read the problem carefully, interpret data provided, and construct equations accordingly.
Solving Equations with Second Degree Problems
This section focuses on solving equations involving second-degree problems. An example problem related to fuel consumption is discussed.
Fuel Consumption Problem
- A driver fills their vehicle's tank and uses one-fifth of its capacity to reach a city.
- On the return journey from city A to city B, an additional 28 liters are consumed.
- The remaining fuel corresponds to one-third of the tank's capacity.
- The task is to determine the tank's capacity.
Setting up the Equation
- Assume the tank has x liters of capacity.
- To reach city A, one-fifth of x is consumed (x/5).
- On the return journey, an additional 28 liters are consumed.
- The remaining fuel corresponds to one-third of x (x/3).
Solving for Tank Capacity
- Set up the equation by summing up the three terms: x/5 + 28 + x/3 = x.
- Find the least common multiple (LCM) of denominators (15 in this case).
- Multiply each term by LCM and solve for x.
Understanding Equations with Multiple Variables
This section introduces equations with multiple variables using an example where one person's age is twice another person's age.
Age Comparison Problem
- Two people, Amanda and Beatriz, have an age relationship where Amanda's age is twice that of Beatriz.
- Five years ago, their combined ages equaled Amanda's current age.
- The task is to determine their current ages.
Setting up the Equation
- Let x represent Beatriz's age. Therefore, Amanda's age would be 2x.
- Five years ago, Amanda had 2x - 5 and Beatriz had x - 5 as their respective ages.
Solving for Current Ages
- Set up the equation by summing up both ages from five years ago: (2x - 5) + (x - 5) = 2x.
- Simplify and solve for x to find Beatriz's current age.
