Linear Equations (Sec 1) Practice
Solve linear equations with one unknown β including those with fractions, brackets, and variables on both sides. Master the systematic method of 'balancing' equations and translate word problems into equations.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Moving a term to the other side without changing its sign
Multiplying only part of a fraction equation (must multiply ALL terms)
Setting up the wrong equation for a word problem
Practice Questions
Try each question. When you're stuck, reveal the Socratic strategy β a guided hint that teaches you how to think, not just what to write.
Solve for x: 2(x + 3) = 14.
Solve for y: (3y)/4 = 9.
Five more than twice a number is 21. Find the number.
