2E EQUATIONS WITH BRACKETS & Pronumerals on both sides
LEARNING INTENTION:
To understand how to solve for 'x' in an equation using the balancing method. SUCCESS CRITERIA: - I can use inverse BIDMAS rules to make 'x' the subject. - I can use opposite operations - I can expand brackets using the distributive law - I can collect like terms EXERCISES FROM TEXT Ex 2E: Fluency: 1-5(1/2) Problem Solving: 6, 8 Reasoning: 9,11 Enrichment: 12 |

BRACKET ON ONE SIDE:
You can use this method when there is only a variable on one side. If variables are on both sides you need to expand and simplify first.

BRACKETS ON BOTH SIDES:
In some cases you will have brackets on both sides. In this case you then need to expand before finding the answer. |
