Study Plan

1
Day 1–2

Learn the Theory

Read the textbook chapter carefully. Note down definitions, formulas and key ideas. Focus on: 1. Linear Equations in One Variable, 2. Linear Equations in Two Variables, 3. Graphs of Linear Equations in Two Variables.

2
Day 3

Practise

Solve the textbook exercises and extra practice questions. There are 31 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 Linear Equations after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • General form: ax + b = 0, a ≠ 0
  • A solution is the value that makes the equation true
  • Balance method keeps both sides equal
  • Choose a variable first
  • Convert words into algebra carefully
  • Solve the equation step by step
  • Age problems compare present and future ages
  • Consecutive integers differ by 1
  • Perimeter of rectangle: P = 2(l + b)

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A linear equation in two variables has only one solution.

In a linear equation, the variable can have any power as long as it looks simple.

When a term moves across the equal sign, its value stays the same sign.
