- solve equations with brackets
Key words: equation, unknowns, solve, balance

Starter: solve these equations

a)2d + 1 = 5
2d + 1 5
b)3e + 3 = 6

c)5f – 2 = 8

d)4r + 3 = 11 2d + 1 = 5

e)4f + 7 = 15
d x2 +1 5
f)2 ( c + 1) = 10
Equations speed test
See for yourself how many you can get
right

There are 6 questions – 30 seconds for


each one
Question 1
14 + m = 18
Question 2
4m = 24
Question 3
m =4
5

HINT: this line means divide... 


Question 4
12 – m = 9
Question 5
2m + 1 = 11
Question 6
3m + 4 = 10
Answers
1) m= 6
2) m= 4
3) m= 20
4) m= 3
5) m= 5
6) m= 2
What’s the fuss about brackets?
We use brackets to help us know what
order to do things in...

Eg. 2 x (7 + 3) = 20

We also use brackets in algebra

3 x (2a + 1) = 6a + 3
Can you do these?
2 ( m + 3) 3 ( m + 3)
2m + 6 3m + 9
3 ( 2m + 2) 4 ( 2m + 2)
6m + 6 8m + 8
4 ( 5 – m) 5 ( 5 – m)
20 – 4m 25 – 5m
5 ( 3m + 2) 2 ( 3m + 2)
15m + 10 6m + 4
10 2 ( m + 1) 12 3 ( m + 1)
Key skill: expanding brackets
Key skill: expand these brackets

a)2 ( d + 1)

b)3 ( 2b + 4)

c)2 ( 4 – d)

d)5 ( m + 3)

e)6 ( 2f – 3)

f)2 ( 8 – 14e)
m m m m

3m + 3 = m + 7
m m m

2m + 3 = m + 6
m

m m m m
m

4m + 2 = 2m + 6
