Simplification of each side of the equation by parentheses removal and combination of like-terms.
Question 4: Explain the rules for solving equations?Īnswer: The rules for solving equation are as follows: Also, in the equation 12n = 24, 12 is the coefficient. 4 + 6 = 10 is certainly a good example of an equation. Question 3: Explain what is an equation with example?Īnswer: An equation refers to a mathematical sentence that consists of two equal sides whose separation takes place by an equal sign. Here, LHS = RHS for x = 5 is the solution.

Question 2: Solve 2x + 16 = 26 by trial and error method.
Divide the sum of one-fifth of a number and 6 by 7.
Two added to the product of a number and 13.
Question 1: Write the equations for the following statements: Consider we have an equation, 5x + 14 = 244. The basic operators also get changed.Īddition becomes subtraction and vice–versa and the multiplication will become the division and vice–versa. If a positive number is transposed, it becomes a negative number and vice-versa. Transposing means changing the sides of the number in the equation. This balance remains the same even if we add, subtract, multiply or divide both sides of the equation by the same number. The equality of both the sides of an equation shows the balance between the two. The value for which both the sides are balanced is the required solution. We start to substitute different values of x. Substituting different values of the variable and checking the equality of LHS and RHS is the trial and error method. There are some methods to solve simple equations. The equation remains the same when the expressions are interchanged. This equality shows the balance of both the sides of the equation. Solving an equation means to find the solution of the given equation. The possible statement for this equation is 5 taken away from thrice of a number gives 17. Converting Equation into StatementĬonsider an equation, 3x − 5 = 17. Number of remaining chocolates = Number of total chocolates − Number of distributed chocolates. Therefore, the number of chocolates distributed is 2 × 40 = 80. You have given two chocolates to each student. Let the number of remaining chocolates be x. Let’s convert this statement into a mathematical equation. If you give them two chocolates each, how many do you still have? There are 40 students in your class other than you and you have 87 chocolates.
Terms: The parts of a simple equation joined by + or − sign are terms.Ĭonsider on your birthday you want to give your classmates chocolates.
Root or Solution: The value of the variable for which LHS = RHS is the root or the solution of a simple equation.
Constants: Constants have the fixed numerical value like 1, 2, 5, 10, 87 etc.
They are represented by English letters like a, b, c, x, y, z etc.
Variables: As the name suggests variables means ‘vary or changeable’.
A simple equation has two parts – Variables and Constants. Let us make ourselves familiar with some of the terms. The expression on the left side of ‘=’ is the LHS and the one on the right side is the RHS. An equation tells that the expression on the left side is equal to that on the right side. Simple equations are the conditions on the variables. Why are they called equations? An equation is an equality of expressions. Simple equations are the general way of representing a relationship between a set of variables or the unknowns.
