Card 1Linear equation in one variable

Solve: 2x + 5 = 13

Answer

Step 1: Subtract 5 from both sides. 2x = 13 - 5 = 8 Step 2: Divide both sides by 2. x = 8/2 = 4 Answer: x = 4…

Card 2Linear equation in one variable

Solve: 3y - 24 = 12

Answer

Step 1: Add 24 to both sides. 3y = 12 + 24 = 36 Step 2: Divide both sides by 3. y = 36/3 = 12 Answer: y = 12…

Card 3Linear equation in one variable

Solve: (x + 2)/3 = -2

Answer

Step 1: Multiply both sides by 3. x + 2 = -6 Step 2: Subtract 2 from both sides. x = -6 - 2 = -8 Answer: x = -8…

Card 4Linear equation in one variable

Solve: 2.5x - 3 = 0.5x + 1

Answer

Step 1: Bring variable terms to one side. 2.5x - 0.5x = 1 + 3 Step 2: Simplify. 2x = 4 Step 3: Divide by 2. x = 2 Answer: x = 2…

Card 5Linear equation in one variable

Solve: 3x - 1 = 2x + 5

Answer

Step 1: Subtract 2x from both sides. x - 1 = 5 Step 2: Add 1 to both sides. x = 6 Answer: x = 6…

Card 6Transposing method

Why does the transposing method work in equations?

Answer

When a term moves from one side to the other, its sign changes. This is the same as performing the opposite operation on both sides while keeping equality true. Example: 2x - 3 = 7 Move -3 to the othe…

Card 7Linear equation in one variable

Solve: 3(x + 2) = 15

Answer

Step 1: Expand the bracket. 3x + 6 = 15 Step 2: Subtract 6 from both sides. 3x = 9 Step 3: Divide by 3. x = 3 Answer: x = 3…

Card 8Linear equation in one variable

Solve: (4 - 2y)/3 + (y + 1)/2 = 1

Answer

Step 1: Multiply every term by 6, the LCM of 3 and 2. 2(4 - 2y) + 3(y + 1) = 6 Step 2: Expand. 8 - 4y + 3y + 3 = 6 Step 3: Simplify. 11 - y = 6 Step 4: Subtract 11 from both sides. -y = -5 Step 5: Mul…
