Page 2: Advanced Equation Solving Strategies

This page delves into more complex equation-solving scenarios, particularly focusing on equations with fractions and multiple terms.

Example: For equation 7r + 2 = 5(1-4):

  1. Expand brackets: 7r + 2 = 5 - 20
  2. Combine like terms
  3. Isolate variable r

Highlight: When dealing with fractions, multiply all terms by the denominator to eliminate fractions.

Definition: The process of "clearing fractions" involves multiplying all terms by the least common multiple of the denominators.

The page provides detailed examples of solving equations with fractions and demonstrates how to handle equations requiring multiple steps, including those with brackets and terms that need to be collected on one side.

Page 1: Basic Linear Equation Solving Techniques

This page introduces fundamental principles for solving linear equations effectively. The focus is on isolating variables and handling equations with terms on both sides.

Definition: A linear equation is a mathematical statement where two expressions are equal, containing variables of degree one.

Highlight: Always perform operations on both sides of the equation to maintain balance.

Example: In solving 3x + 10 = 16:

  1. Subtract 10 from both sides: 3x = 6
  2. Divide both sides by 3: x = 2

Vocabulary: Brackets (parentheses) in equations indicate operations that must be performed first.

The page emphasizes the importance of writing each step with an equals sign and demonstrates various equation types, including those with variables on both sides and those involving brackets.
