WHAT DO YOU THING ABOUT UPIN AND
IPIN WEIGHT?
 MAT SHAM = 55KG
MALIK 85 KG
 THINK !

15KG 20KG

15 + X = 20
DETERMINE NUMERICAL VALUE
1) Determine whether
a)4 is solution of the equation 3x-7=5
3x – 7 = 5

=3x -7 5
3x -7
LHS RHS
(LEFT HAND SIDE) (RIGHT HAND SIDE)
SOLUTION
LHS = 3x – 7
= 3 (4) – 7
= 12 – 7
=5
RHS =5
Since LHS =RHS , 4 is solution of the equation
3x – 7 = 5
b) 5 is solution of equation of
9 + x =13

9 + x = 13

=9 +x 13

LHS RHS
(LEFT HAND SIDE) (RIGHT HAND SIDE)
SOLUTION
LHS =9+x
=9+5
= 14

RHS = 13
Since LHS =RHS , therefore 13 is not solution of the
equation
9 + x = 13
Trial and improvement method
A) 2x + 5 = 11

x 2x + 5
1 2 (1) + 5 = 7
2 2 (2) + 5 = 9

3 2 (3) + 5 = 11

Therefore, x = 3 is the solution
