  • linear equation of the form Ax = B

    Introduction In this type of problems, we use linear equations of the form Ax = B. B is given as a quantity which is a fractional part A of another unknown quantity x. So, A and B are given and x is to be found here. Rules to be followed while solving linear equations of the form Ax = B…

  • Solving an equation with parentheses

    Introduction We come across problems about solutions of equations with parentheses. In such cases, the parentheses are simplified by using the distributive property of multiplication over addition and subtraction. After simplification, the equations are solved as discussed in previous lesson by following the given rules in such cases. Let us recall the distributive property of…

  • Using two steps to solve an equation 

    Introduction When we solve an equation, we are solving to find the number that is missing. This missing number is usually represented by a letter. We find the value of that letter or variable to solve the equation. Rules for Solving 2-Step Equations: Example 1 Solve the following two step equation: 7g + 3 =…

  • Multiplicative property of equality with fractions

    Introduction The multiplicative property of equality states that we can multiply ordivide both sides of an equation by the same nonzero fractional number oralgebraicexpression without changing the solution. If a, b and c are any three fractional numbers If a = b, and c 0, then 1. a × c = b × c 2. a ÷ c = b ÷…

  • Multiplicative property of equality

    Definition The multiplicative property of equality states that we can multiply ordivide both sides of an equation by the same nonzero number oralgebraicexpression without changing the solution. If a, b and c are any three numbers If a = b, and c 0, then 1. a × c = b × c 2. a ÷ c = b ÷ c Example…

  • Additive property of equality with decimals

    Definition The additive property of equality states that we can add orsubtract the same number oralgebraicexpression to both sides of an equation without changing the solution. If a, b and c are any three numbers if a = b, then 1. a + c = b + c 2. a c = b c Example 1 Solve for x x +…
