Expression()ﻋﺒﺎرت
It is the combination of operands
and operators, e.g. x+y, 4-17, etc.
Here x x, y,
y 4 and 17 are called
operands, while the symbols +, -
are called operators. The other
operators are *and ÷.
The expression x+y is called
algebraic expression and 4-17 is
called the arithmetical expression.

Linear Equation
{ An equation of the form
ax+b=c (1)
where a,b and c, a≠0 are constants (real
numbers) is called a linear equation.
Example
1. x+4=7 (a=1, b=4, c=7)
2. 2x-3=5.4 (a=2, b=-3, c=5.4)
3. -(x+3)-(x-6)=3x-4.5
Though this equation is not of the form (1), but
it is still a linear equation, since it can be
rewritten as
5x-4.5=3 (a=5, b=-4.5, c=3)

Examples
Let us try to solve the equation
‘4x+2=4’,, An accurate guess
g for
the solution is ‘x=1/2’, we
substitute this value in the given
equation
⁄ ⁄
4*½ +2=4
2 4
2 + 2 =4
4=4 15

The substitution method is generally
a time consuming method, i.e.
sometimes it takes very long time
to find an accurate guess.
g
The graphical method
In this method we sketch the graph
of the linear equation, and then find
the point where the graph cuts the
x-axis, such a point is called the ‘x-
intercept ’. This method is also not
a very good method.

25. -4.2 = 2x + 1.6
Sol: We have
-4.2 = 2x + 1.6
Subtractingg 1.6 from both sides
-4.2 - 1.6 = 2x + 1.6 – 1.6
-5.8 = 2x
Now dividing both sides by 2
-5.8/2 = 2x/2 => -2.9 = x (Using calculator)
Or x = -2.9 as desired.

Q36. -2 3 = -1.4
-2.3 -1 4 + 0.6x
0 6x
Sol: Adding 1.4 to both sides
0.6x = -2.3 + 1.4
0.6x = -0.9
Dividing through out by 0.6
x = -0.9/0.6 => x = -1.5

Q58. 0.1(2.4x + 5) = 1.7
Sol: given the equation
0.1(2.4x + 5) = 1.7
Using distributive property
0.24x + 0.5 = 1.7
Subtracting 0.5 from both sides
0.24x = 1.7 – 0.5
⇒ 0.24x = 1.2
Finally dividing both sides by 1.2
x = 1.2/0.24
x=5
the required answer.

Q65. 5.76 – 4.24x – 1.9x = 27.864
Sol: Given that
5.76 – 4.24x – 1.9x = 27.864
⇒ 5.76 – 6.14x = 27.864
Now subtracting 5.76 from both sides
5.76 - 5.76 – 6.14x = 27.864 – 5.76
-6.14x = 22.104
Finally dividing both sides by -6.14
-6.14x/-6.14 = -22.104/6.14
x = 3.454
3 454
Which is the desired result.

0.1(x + 10) = 0.3x -4
Using the distributive property
0.1x + 1 = 0.3x - 4
Combining the terms involving the variable on one
side of the equation & constant on the other side
0.3x – 0.1x = 4 + 1
0.2x = 5
Using multiplicative property to isolate ‘x’
x = 5/0.2

36. 5(2.9x - 3) = 2(x +4)
Sol:We are given that
5(2.9x - 3) = 2(x +4)
By the use of distributive property, we have
14.5x – 15 = 2x + 8
Shifting 2x to the left & -15 to the right of the
equation
14.5x – 2x = 8 + 15
12.5x = 23
Isolating ‘x’
x = 23/12.5
23/12 5
or x = 1.84 as desired.

Using the distributive property
-9y + 27 = -9y + 27
Since the same expression
appears on both sides of the equation,
therefore the statement is true for all real
values of y. If we continue to solve this
equation further, we arrive at
0 = 0.

5 + 2x
2 = 6x
6 + 6 – 5x 5 + 15

Proportion
A proportion is a special type of equation.
It is a statement of equality between two
ratios.
How to denote a proportion?
A proportion is denoted as a:b=c:d (read
as ‘a is to b as c is to d’). We can also
denote a proportion as
a/b = c/d, a and d are referred as the
extremes,, and the b and c are referred as
the means of the proportion.
53
53
2/14/2010
Cross Multiplication
If a/b = c/d then ad = bc
Note that the product of means equal to the product of
extremes.
If any three of the four quantities of a proportion are
known, the fourth can easily be found.
Example
p
Solve for ‘x’ using cross multiplying x/3 = 25/15.
Solution
Given that
x/3 = 25/15

Example: Amber invests $5000 in savings account which
earns simple interest for 2 years. If the interest earned from
the account is $800, find the rate.
Sol: Here
Principal (investment) =p=$5000
Time =t =2years
Interest =i=$800
rate =r=?
Using the simple interest formula
i=prt
Solving for ‘r’, we get r = i/pt
Putting the values
r = 800/[(5000)(2)]
r = 800/10000
800/ 0000
r = 0.08
Thus the simple interest rate is 0.08, or 8% per year.

necessary, shift all the terms containing
variables to the left side of the equal sign and
the constants to the right side of the equal sign.
2. If necessary, multiply one or both equations by
a constant(s) so that when the equations are
added the resulting sum will contain only one
variable.
3. Add the equations. This gives a single equation
which contains only one variable.
4. Solve the equation obtained in step 3.
5. Put the value obtained from step 3 into either of
the original equation. Solve this equation for the
