1.2 Algebra - Transposition & Linear Equations

Question 1

What are the 4 rules of transpotion?

Answer 1

1. Remove Fractions
2. Remove Brackets
3. Move added/subtracted terms
4. Divide by the number next to the letter

Question 2

Main princple when changing sides in transposition?

Answer 2

change sides = change signs

Question 3

in linear equations, what is the constants?

Answer 3

the numbers that remain at a constant and don’t change

Question 4

in linear equations, what is the unknown (variable)?

Answer 4

the number that you are seeking to find the value of.

Question 5

in linear equations, what must be done throughout?

Answer 5

operations must be performed on both sides

Question 6

in linear equations, what do you do when the unknown is on both sides?

Answer 6

aim to get the unknown on one side, and the constant on the other.

Question 7

in linear equations that have fractions in them, what do you do?

Answer 7

multiply both sides by the denominator

Question 8

in linear equiations, if there is fractions on both sides, what should you do?

Answer 8

rewrite it as necessary, and carry out cross multiplcation to remove the fractions.
