LITERACY:
Think of some words that are opposites.
For example, what do you think of as the opposite
of the words below.

New
Old = ______ Lie
Truth = ______
Mr
Mrs = ______ White
Black = ______
LITERACY:

______
What is an equation?
A mathematical statement that
equates 2 expressions.

An equation is like a balance scale

LO: Solving one-step equations

Some Examples:
We want to get alone! We want to get alone!

𝒙 +𝟔= 𝟏𝟎 𝒙 − 𝟔=𝟏𝟎
-6 -6 +6 +6
𝒙 =𝟒 𝒙 =𝟏𝟔
Some Examples:
We want to get alone! We want to get alone!

𝟒 𝒙 =𝟏𝟔 𝒙
=𝟏𝟎
÷4 ÷4 𝟓
𝒙 =𝟒 x5 x5
𝒙 =𝟓𝟎
Now you try:

a) e)
b) f) 13
c) g)
d) h)
a) = 12 e) = 13
b) = 11 f) = 14
c) =5 g) = -4
d) = 24 h) = -20

LO: Solving two-step equations

Some Examples:
We want to get alone! We want to get alone!

𝟒 𝒙 +𝟔=𝟏𝟎 𝟐 𝒙 −𝟔=𝟏𝟎
-6 -6 +6 +6
𝟒 𝒙 = 𝟒 𝟐 𝒙 =𝟏𝟔
÷4 ÷4 ÷2 ÷2
𝒙 =𝟏 𝒙 =𝟖
Some Examples:
We want to get alone! We want to get alone!

𝒙 +𝟑
=𝟏𝟎
𝟐 𝒙 ÷ 𝟑=𝟒
𝟐 x3 x3
x2 x2
𝒙 +𝟑= 𝟐𝟎 𝟐 𝒙 =𝟏𝟐
-3 -3 ÷2 ÷2
𝒙 =𝟏𝟕 𝒙 =𝟔
Now you try:

a) e) 38
b) f) 13
c) g)
d) h)
a) =6 e) = 10
b) =4 f) =7
c) = 25 g) = -16
d) = 21 h) = -18

LO: Solving equations involving brackets

Some Examples:
We want to get alone!

𝟒 ( 𝒙 + 𝟐)=𝟖 𝟒 𝒙 +𝟖=𝟖
÷4 ÷4 -8 -8
𝒙 +𝟐= 𝟐 𝟒 𝒙 = 𝟎
-2 -2 ÷4 ÷4
𝒙 =𝟎 𝒙 =𝟎
Now you try:

a)
b)
c)
d) a) = -4/3
b) =7
c) =8
d) =5
