Study Notes

Simple Equations

  • Exercise 4.1 Focuses on solving and verifying simple equations.

  • Students complete a table by assessing whether given values satisfy the equation.

    • Examples: x + 3 = 0, 5x = 25, m/3 = 2
    • Values are tested to see if the equation holds true (Yes/No)
  • Exercise 4.1, Question 2 Evaluates solutions to equations.

    • Students check if a given value (in brackets) is a valid solution to an equation.
    • Examples: n + 5 = 19 (n = 1), 4p - 3 = 13 (p = -4)
  • Exercise 4.1, Question 3 Uses trial and error to solve equations.

    • Students find solutions through trial-and-error for equations like 5p + 2 = 17, 3m - 14 = 4.
  • Exercise 4.1, Question 4 Formulates equations from word problems.

    • Examples: "The sum of numbers x and 4 is 9" translates to x + 4 = 9, "Seven times m plus 7 gets you 77" becomes 7m + 7 = 77.
  • Exercise 4.1, Question 5 Converts equations into statements.

    • Examples: p + 5 = 7 => Equation: p + 5 = 15; 2m = 7 => Equation: p / 5 = 6

Further Topics

  • **Exercise 4.2 ** Covers solving and separating variables in equations

    • Solves equations like x - 1 = 0, x + 6 = 2, 3n - 2 = 46, 5m + 7 = 17
  • Page 2: Formulates equations related to word problems.

    • Examples included about marbles, ages, and triangle angles.
  • Page 4: Focuses on profit/loss calculations and percentages.

    • Calculating profit/loss percentage for various transactions.
  • Page 5: Concerns itself with simple interest calculations.

    • Calculates amounts to be paid at the end of a fixed time period for different principal amounts.
  • Page 6: Covers converting decimals to percentages and finding percentages of given values.

    • Examples of percentage calculations on numbers and quantities.
    • Questions include finding percentages from figures and understanding the concept of percentage.
