1. Introduction

1.1. Constant

A constant has a fixed numerical value, and its


value does not change in any situation.

For example : 5, 2775, 1098 etc.

'S
1.2. Variable
U
A variable is denoted by any alphabets and its
value is not fixed.
YJ
For example : 𝑎, 𝑛, 𝑥, 𝑦, 𝑧 etc.

1.3. Algebraic Expression

An algebraic expression is a combination of


B

variables and constants connected with a


mathematical operator.

For example : 8𝑥 + 31

1. Introduction

1.4. Equation

An equation is a mathematical statement that


establishes equality between two expressions.

For example : 4𝑥 + 31 = 9

Equate both the

2. Solving an Equation

2.1. Trial and Error Method

Substitute any random value for the variable in the


equation, and check if L.H.S = R.H.S or not.

For example : 2𝑥 − 5 = 3
Checking for some random values of 𝑥

'S
𝑥 𝟐𝒙 − 𝟓 = 𝟑
2 2(2) − 5 ≠ 3
3 2(3) − 5 ≠ 3
U 4 2 4 −5=3
Since, for 𝑥 = 4, L.H.S = R.H.S, the solution to the
given equation is 𝑥 = 4.

2.2. Balancing Method

𝒙+𝒂 𝒃 𝒙 𝒃−𝒂
B

Subtracting 𝑎

from both sides

To solve equation by balancing method, perform the same


mathematical operations on both sides of the equation,
so that the balance is not disturbed.

2. Solving an Equation

2.3. Transposition Method

Rules of transposition of algebraic operators

L.H.S R.H.S
+ ⇌ −
− ⇌ +
× ⇌ ÷

'S
÷ ⇌ ×

Solution of an equation can be done by transposition


method using the following steps:
U
Step 1: Transpose all the variables to one side and
all the constants to the other side of the
equation.
YJ
Step 2: Simplify the expression and solve for the variable.

𝟐𝒙 + 𝟑 = 𝟗
⇒ 𝟐𝒙 = 𝟗 − 𝟑
B

⇒ 𝟐𝒙 = 𝟔

÷
𝟔
⇒𝒙=
𝟐

⇒𝒙=𝟑

3. Application of Simple Equation

A simple equation can be used to solve practical Problems of


our daily lives.

Make sure to follow the given steps to solve such problems.

Step 1 : Read the given statements thoroughly and note


down the given information.

Step 2 : Frame the equation with the given information and


solve the equation using any methods.

'S
Example: Raju’s father’s age is 5 years more than 3
times Raju’s age. Find Raju’s age, if his father is 44
years old.
U
Solution: Given that,

• Raju’s father’s age is 5 years more than 3 times Raju’s age.


YJ
• Raju’s father’s age is 44 years.

Step 1 : Form an equation

Let Raju’s age be 𝑥 years

The equation that gives Raju’s age is 3𝑥 + 5 = 44


B

Step 2 : Solving the equation using transposition method

• First transpose 5 to get 3𝑥 = 44 − 5 = 39


• Dividing both sides by 3, we get 𝑥 = 13

Hence, Raju’s age is 13 years.
