Solving Linear
Equations
(Feb 14, 2005)
with & then without stick diagrams plus   solving word problems; and solving systems: -  essentially one unknown, essentially triangular & general

 

Read them in order

(i) x + 20 = 29 WS
(ii) 2x + 6 = 24 WS
(iii) 3x + 10 = 32 WS
(iv) 5a + 16 = 3a+ 24 WS
(v)  (½)x + 8 = 24½ WS
(vi)  (¾)a + 16 = (¼)a+ 24 WS
(vii) (¾)q + 17 = 32 WS
(viii) 13 =[2/3]x +7 twice WS
(5/6)q + 8+(5/6) = 14 + (2/3) WS
Proper Use of Equal Sign
