Equations

Equations - mathematical statement with 2 expressions that have the same value
eg : x+2=3 , y-7 = (-4) , 3a-2 = 9+2 , b=4

Model 8 times a number plus 4 is 12
8n+4 = 12

Identify : 5y-6 = 19
variable = y
numerical coefficient = 5
constant = 6




Opposite Operations
+, -
x ,
÷
- , +
÷ , x

a+1 = 3
a+1-1 = 3-1
a = 2


Sub
a+1 = 3
2+1 = 3
3=3




Reverse order of operation

4c-3 = 17
4c-3+3=17+3
4c
÷4 = 20÷4
c = 5

Sub
4c-3=17

4(5)-3=17
20-3=17
17=17

Equation

Equation- mathematical statement with two expression that have the same value

Eg.





Model: 8 times a number plus 4 is 12 8n+4=12



5y-6=19



numerical coefficient =5




variable =5




constant =6




C+(-3)=(-6) Brackets in this equation is use to reduce confusion.




Opposite Operations





A+1=3


A+1-1=3-1


A=2




Sub A+1=3


2+1=3


3=3



reverse order of operation



4c-4=17


4c-3+3=17+3


4c=20


4c÷4=20÷4


c=5



sub 4c-3=17


4(5)-3=17


20-3=17


17=17
