  1. LINEAR EQUATIONS IN ONE VARIABLE

  2. EQUATION A statement which states that two algebraic expressions are equal is called an equation. LINEAR EQUATIONS IN ONE VARIABLE The equation involving only one variable in first order is called a linear equation in one variable.

  3. PROPERTIES OF AN EQUATION • If same quantity is added to both sides of the equation, the sums are equal. Thus: x=7 => x+a=7+a • If same quantity is subtracted from both sides of an equation, the differences are equal Thus: x=7 => x-a=7-a • If both the sides of an equation are multiplied by the same quantity, the products are equal. Thus: x=7 => ax=7a • If both the sides of an equation are divided by the same quantity, the quotients are equal. Thus: x=7 => x÷a=7÷a

  4. TO SOLVE AN EQUATION • 1.Tosolve an equation of the form x+a=b E.g.: Solve x+4=10 Solution: x+4=10 => x+4-4=10-4 (subtracting 4 from both the sides) => x=6 2.To solve an equation of the form x-a=b E.g.: Solve y-6=5 equal. Solution: y-6=5 => y-6+6=5+6 (adding 6 to both sides) • => y=11 • 1.To

  5. 3.To solve an equation of the form ax=b E.g.: Solve 3x=9 Solution: 3x=9 => => x = 3 4. To solve an equation of the form x/a=b E.g.: Solve = 6 Solution: =6 => ×2=6×2 => x=12

  6. SHORT- CUT METHOD (SOLVING AN EQUATION BY TRANSPOSING TERMS) 1. In an equation, an added term is transposed (taken) from one side to the other, it is subtracted. i.e., x+4=10 => x=10-4=6 (4 is transposed) 2. In an equation, a subtracted term is transposed to the other side, it is added. i.e., y-6=5 =>y=5+6=11 (6 is transposed) 3. In an equation, a term in multiplication is transposed to the other side, it is divided. i.e., 3x=12 4. In an equation a term in division is taken to the other side it is multiplied. i.e => y=6×4=24 (4 is transposed) (3 is transposed)

  7. TO SOLVE EQUATIONS USING MORE THAN ONE PROPERTY Solve: (1) 3x+8=14 • Solution: 3x=14-8 (transposing 8) • => 3x=6 • => x=6/3 (transposing 3) • =>x=2

  8. 2a-3=5 Solution: 2a=5+3 (transposing 3) • => 2a=8 • => a = 8/2 (transposing2) • =>a = 4

  9. (3) 5n/8 =20 Solution: 5n=20×8 • => n =204×8/51 • => n=4×8=32

  10. SOLVING AN EQUATION WITH VARIABLE ON BOTH THE SIDES Transpose the terms containing the variable, to one side and the constants to the other side . E.g.: (1) Solve 10y-3=7y+9 Solution: 10y-7y = 9+3 (transposing 7y to the left & 3 to the right) • => 3y = 12 • => y = 12/3 • => y = 4

  11. (2) Solve 2(x-5) + 3(x-2) = 8+7(x-4) Solution: 2x-10+3x-6=8+7x-28 (removing the brackets) • => 5x-16 = 7x-20 • => 5x-7x = -20+16 • => -2x = -4 • => x = -4/-2 • => x = 2

  12. SOLVING WORD PROBLEMS • A number increased by 8 equal 15. Find the number? Solution: Let the number be ‘x’ Given, the number increased by 8 equal 15. • => x+8 = 15 • =>x = 15-8 • => x = 7

  13. A number is decreased by 15 and the new number so obtained is multiplied by 3; the result is 81.Find the number? Solution: Let the number be ‘x’ The number decreased by 15 = x-15 The new number (x-15) multiplied by 3 = 3(x-15) Given 3(x-15) = 81 • => 3x-45 = 81 • => 3x = 81 + 45 • => 3x = 126 • => x = • => x = 42

  14. 3) A man is 26 years older than his son. After 10 years, he will be three times as old as his son. Find their present ages . Solution: let son’s present age= x years Then father’s age = x+26 After ten years, Son’s age = x+10 Father’s age = x+26+10 =x+36 Given, x+36 = 3(x+10) • => x+36 =3x+30 • => x-3x =30-36 • => -2x =-6 • => x = • =>x=3 • Son’s age = 3 years • Father’s age = 3 + 26=29years
