Study Plan

1
Day 1–2

Learn the Theory

Read the textbook chapter carefully. Note down definitions, formulas and key ideas. Focus on: 1. Equation, Variable, and Solution, 2. Operations That Keep an Equation Unchanged, 3. Solving Equations by the Short-Cut Method.

2
Day 3

Practise

Solve the textbook exercises and extra practice questions. There are 47 questions available for this chapter.

3
Day 4

Revise & Test

Revise key points without looking at your notes. Take a practice quiz and mark weak areas for another pass.

Day 7

Spaced Revision

Come back to Simple Linear Equations after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • An equation shows equality between two expressions.
  • A variable is the unknown quantity to be found.
  • The solution or root is the value that makes the equation true.
  • Adding the same number on both sides keeps the equation equal.
  • Subtracting the same number on both sides keeps the equation equal.
  • Multiplying both sides by the same number keeps the equation equal.
  • Undo addition by subtraction.
  • Undo subtraction by addition.
  • Undo multiplication by division.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The equal sign means 'the answer comes next', not that both sides must stay equal.

A term can be moved across the equal sign without changing the operation.

A multiplication term stays multiplication when moved to the other side.

Memory Tips

Equation means two expressions are equal

Solving an equation means finding the value of the variable

Adding the same number to both sides keeps an equation unchanged

Subtracting the same number from both sides keeps an equation unchanged
