WEEK 1
Topic: Revision of last term’s work using past examinations questions papers.
NOTE: Teachers should ensure all topics that seem complex are thoroughly explained for
better understanding. Evaluation should be given and marked.

WEEK 2
TOPIC: SIMPLE EQUATION AND WORLD PROBLEMS

DEFINITION OF EQUATIONS
Equations are open sentences which have the equal sign. Solving an equation means
finding a value of the unknown which makes the equation true. Any letter a, f, c, x etc.
can be used as unknown. The set of values which make an equation true is called the truth
set.

Example 1
Solve the following simple equations:
a. 3a-8 = 10
b. 10x – 7 = 27
c. 4 + 5y = 19

Solution
a. 3a – 8 = 10
Method 1

3a – 8 + 8 =10 +8
3a = 18
3𝑎 18
= =6
3 3

Method 2
3a – 8 = 10
3a = 10 + 8
3a = 18
18
a = =6
3

Note: If a number is moved from one side to an equation over the equal sign to the other
side, the sign of the number changes.

b. 10x – 7 = 27
Method 1
10x – 7 + 7 = 27 + 7
10x = 34
10𝑥 34
= 10
10
x = 3.4
Method 2
10x – 7 = 27
10x = 27+ 7
34
x = 10 = 3.4

EXAMPLE 2
Solve the following equations:
a. 4(3y-2) = 6
b. 2 (x-8) = 3(x+5)
