Solving Linear Equations

A linear equation can be written as ax + b = c, where the highest power of x is 1.
To solve, use inverse operations: add/subtract to undo addition/subtraction; multiply/divide to undo multiplication/division.
Any operation performed on one side must be done to the other side.
For 2x + 1 = 9, subtract 1 from both sides to get 2x = 8, then divide by 2 to get x = 4.
For equations with negative terms, e.g., 2 - 3x = 10, add 3x to both sides to make the x term positive, then solve.
Always check your answer by substituting it back into the original equation.

Equations with Brackets & Fractions

If an equation contains brackets, expand the brackets first: e.g., 2(x - 3) = 10 becomes 2x - 6 = 10.
Alternatively, you can divide both sides by the number outside the bracket: 2(x - 3) = 10 becomes x - 3 = 5.
If an equation contains fractions, multiply both sides by the lowest common denominator (LCD).
For \frac{x}{5} + 4 = \frac{9}{2}, the LCD is 10. Multiply all terms by 10: 2x + 40 = 45, then solve.
If the unknown is in the denominator, e.g., \frac{4}{x-2} = 3, multiply both sides by the denominator: 4 = 3(x-2), then solve.

Equations with Unknowns on Both Sides

Collect the x terms on one side by adding or subtracting the smaller x term from both sides.
For 4x - 7 = 11 + x, subtract x from both sides to get 3x - 7 = 11, then solve.
For 4 - 5x = 6x - 29, add 5x to both sides to get 4 = 11x - 29, then solve.
After solving, reflect the equation if necessary to present the answer as x = ....

Forming Equations from Words

Use a variable (e.g., x) to represent the unknown quantity.
Translate phrases into expressions: '2 less than' → x - 2; 'double' → 2x; 'half of' → \frac{x}{2}.
Use brackets to maintain order: 'add 1 then multiply by 3' → 3(x+1).
An equation is a statement with an equals sign; identify where 'is equal to' fits.
Always answer in context: after solving, state the value of the required quantity.

Forming Equations from Shapes

Use properties of shapes (perimeter, area, angles) to set up equations.
For a rectangle: perimeter = 2(\text{length} + \text{width}), area = \text{length} \times \text{width}.
For triangles: sum of interior angles = 180°. For polygons: sum = 180(n-2).
Substitute algebraic expressions into formulas, using brackets where needed.
Read the question carefully to determine whether to find an angle, length, area, etc.

## Linear Equations - Quick Revision ### Solving Linear Equations - A linear equation has the form $ax + b = c$ with $x$ to power 1. - **Inverse operations**: add/subtract, multiply/divide. Do the same to both sides. - **Order**: usually undo addition/subtraction first, then multiplication/division. - Example: $2x + 1 = 9$ → subtract 1: $2x = 8$ → divide by 2: $x = 4$. - For negative terms, add the negative term to both sides. E.g., $2 - 3x = 10$ → add $3x$: $2 = 10 + 3x$ → rewrite as $3x + 10 = 2$ → solve. ### Equations with Brackets & Fractions - **Brackets**: expand first, then solve. E.g., $2(x - 3) = 10$ → $2x - 6 = 10$ → $2x = 16$ → $x = 8$. - **Fractions**: multiply both sides by the lowest common denominator (LCD). E.g., $\frac{x}{5} + 4 = \frac{9}{2}$ → LCD = 10 → $2x + 40 = 45$ → $2x = 5$ → $x = \frac{5}{2}$. - If unknown is in denominator, multiply both sides by that denominator. E.g., $\frac{4}{x-2} = 3$ → $4 = 3(x-2)$ → solve. ### Equations with Unknowns on Both Sides - Collect $x$ terms on one side by adding/subtracting the smaller $x$ term. E.g., $4x - 7 = 11 + x$ → subtract $x$: $3x - 7 = 11$ → add 7: $3x = 18$ → $x = 6$. - For $4 - 5x = 6x - 29$ → add $5x$: $4 = 11x - 29$ → add 29: $33 = 11x$ → $x = 3$. ### Forming Equations from Words - Translate phrases: "2 less than something" → $x - 2$; "double" → $2x$; "sum" → add. - Choose a variable for the unknown, then write an equation with an equals sign. - Example: "Rovers scored $x$ goals, United scored 8 more, City scored 3 less than twice Rovers, total 117" → $x + (x+8) + (2x-3) = 117$ → solve: $4x + 5 = 117$ → $4x = 112$ → $x = 28$. ### Forming Equations from Shapes - Use perimeter, area, angle sums, etc. E.g., rectangle perimeter: $2(\text{length}) + 2(\text{width})$. - Example: rectangle length $3x+1$, width $2x-5$, perimeter 22 → $2(3x+1) + 2(2x-5) = 22$ → $10x - 8 = 22$ → $x = 3$. - Always substitute back to check. **Key Tip**: Substitute your answer into the original equation to verify.

What is a linear equation?

A linear equation can be written in the form ax + b = c, where a, b, c are numbers and x is the variable. The greatest power of x is 1.

How do you solve 2x + 1 = 9?

Subtract 1 from both sides to get 2x = 8, then divide both sides by 2 to get x = 4.

What are inverse operations in solving equations?

Addition and subtraction are inverse operations; multiplication and division are inverse operations.

Solve 4x + 8 = 12.

Subtract 8 from both sides: 4x = 4. Then divide by 4: x = 1.

Solve 2 - 3x = 10.

Add 3x to both sides: 2 = 10 + 3x. Subtract 10: -8 = 3x. Divide by 3: x = -8/3.

Solve 5x - 8 = 22.

Add 8 to both sides: 5x = 30. Divide by 5: x = 6.

How do you solve a linear equation with brackets?

Expand the brackets first. For example, 2(x - 3) = 10 becomes 2x - 6 = 10, then solve as usual.

Solve 2(x - 3) = 10.

Expand: 2x - 6 = 10. Add 6: 2x = 16. Divide by 2: x = 8.

How do you solve a linear equation with fractions?

Multiply both sides by the lowest common denominator to eliminate fractions. Then solve as usual.

Solve x/5 + 4 = 9/2.

Multiply by 10: 2x + 40 = 45. Subtract 40: 2x = 5. Divide by 2: x = 5/2.

Solve 4/(x - 2) = 3.

Multiply both sides by (x - 2): 4 = 3(x - 2). Expand: 4 = 3x - 6. Add 6: 10 = 3x. Divide: x = 10/3.

How do you solve an equation with unknowns on both sides?

Collect x terms on one side by adding or subtracting the smaller x term from both sides.

Solve 4x - 7 = 11 + x.

Subtract x from both sides: 3x - 7 = 11. Add 7: 3x = 18. Divide by 3: x = 6.

Solve 4 - 5x = 6x - 29.

Add 5x to both sides: 4 = 11x - 29. Add 29: 33 = 11x. Divide by 11: x = 3.

How do you form an expression from '2 less than something'?

x - 2, where x is the unknown.

How do you form an expression from 'double something'?

2x, where x is the unknown.

How do you form an expression from 'half of something'?

x/2 or (1/2)x, where x is the unknown.

How do you form an expression from 'something add 1, then multiplied by 3'?

(x + 1) × 3, which simplifies to 3(x + 1).

The number of yellow flowers is three times the number of red flowers. Purple flowers are 5 more than yellow. The difference between purple and red is 29. Find the number of yellow flowers.

Let red = x. Then yellow = 3x, purple = 3x + 5. Equation: (3x + 5) - x = 29 → 2x + 5 = 29 → 2x = 24 → x = 12. Yellow = 3 × 12 = 36.

A rectangle has length 3x + 1 cm and width 2x - 5 cm. Its perimeter is 22 cm. Find x.

Perimeter = 2(3x+1) + 2(2x-5) = 6x+2+4x-10 = 10x-8. Set equal to 22: 10x-8=22 → 10x=30 → x=3.

For the rectangle with x=3, length 3x+1 and width 2x-5, find the area.

Length = 3(3)+1 = 10 cm, width = 2(3)-5 = 1 cm. Area = 10 × 1 = 10 cm².

Solve 5(3x + 8) = 10.

Expand: 15x + 40 = 10. Subtract 40: 15x = -30. Divide by 15: x = -2.

Solve 8(w + 11) = 120.

Divide both sides by 8: w + 11 = 15. Subtract 11: w = 4.

Solve (x - 2)/3 = 3.

Multiply by 3: x - 2 = 9. Add 2: x = 11.

Solve 7x - 5 = 16.

Add 5: 7x = 21. Divide by 7: x = 3.
