Algebra Walls Constructing and solving equations using Algebra Walls
Algebra walls = 27 n + 19 ? 12 ? n + 7 ? 5 7 n n + 19 = 27 n = 27 - 19 n = 8
Algebra walls = 27 ? 27 12 ? ? 15 5 7 n 8 n = 8 Back substitute to check
Algebra walls = 35 ? 3n + 17 2n + 7 ? n + 10 ? 2n 7 n + 3 3n + 17 = 35 3n = 35 - 17 3n = 18 n = 6

Algebra walls = 42 n = 5 = 27 n = 2 n n + 5 n 5 26 12 = 73 n = 6 = 32 n = 5 Solve for n and back substitute to check n + 14 n -16 2n 16 n + 26 n + 26 n = 2.5 n = 6 = 88 = 33 3n + 4 24 - n 2n + 8 4 - 2n 4n + 6 6n + 7
Constructing and solving equations using the perimeter of shapes
Perimeter and algebra ? The perimeter of this shape is 22cm. Find the length of each side 3n ? 6 n + 2 4 12 6n ? Total perimeter = 3n + n + 2 + 6n = 10n + 2 10n + 2 = 22 10n = 20 n = 2 Substitute n = 2 into the expressions for each length Check: 6 + 4 + 12 = 22 so n = 2 is correct The length of each side is 6, 4 and 12
Perimeter and algebra ? ? 12 - n The perimeter of this shape is 38cm. Find the length of each side 3n - 4 8 8 16 6 n + 2 ? 4n ? Total perimeter = 3n - 4 + 12 - n + n + 2 + 4n = 7n + 10 7n + 10 = 38 7n = 28 n = 4 Substitute n = 4 into the expressions for each length Check: 8 + 8 + 6 + 16 = 38 so n = 2 is correct The length of each side is 8, 8, 6 and 16
