What is an equation?
Equation: a statement that the value of two mathematical expressions
are equal (includes an equals sign)
 Draw number lines to represent these:

x + 8 = 14 a) x+5=9
b) 21= x + 11
c) 36 = x + 14
d) x + 8 = 24
8=x+3
e) x + 10 = 5
f) 2=x+8
 To solve an equation you must always do the Remember your aim is to
same to both sides get x on its own
Your turn

x + 8 = 14 a) x + 5 = 9
b) 21= x + 11
c) 36 = x + 14
8=x+3 d) x + 8 = 24
e) x + 10 = 5
f) 2 = x + 8
 Draw number lines to represent these:

4x = 20 a) 9x = 36
b) 12x = 144
c) 56 = 7s
d) 6w = 54
35 = 5y e) 7x = 49
f) 96 = 8x
g) 16 = 4y
 Examples: Solve Your turn

4x = 20 a) 9x = 36
b) 12x = 144
c) 56 = 7s
d) 9w = 54
35 = 7y e) -7x = 49
f) -96 = 8x
g) -16 = 4y
 To solve an equation you must always do the Remember your aim is to
same to both sides get x on its own
Your turn

x – 6 = 15 a) x – 9 = 10
b) 3=x–5
c) 15 = x – 12
d) x – 5 = -2
3=x–7 e) -5 = x – 12
To solve an equation you must always do the Remember your aim is to
same to both sides get x on its own
Your turn

=7 a) = 8
b) = 4
c) 8 = z
d) 7 =

e) -
f) = -
