Algebra 02 (F)

This quiz also includes EQUATIONS. An equation is formed when an expression is given a value: that is, the expression equals something. Solving an equation involves finding out what value the letter has. When solving equations try to think of it as old-fashioned weigh scales – it needs to stay balanced, so you must do the same thing to both sides. Write down each step, using a new line for each stage of working.

Algebra can be used in problem-solving questions, often those involving shapes. Make sure you know the properties of common shapes such as rectangles, squares and triangles. It is always a good idea to sketch out the situation if a picture is not already drawn for you.
