What to Focus On

  • General form: ax + b = 0 where a ≠ 0
  • Solution is the value that satisfies the equation
  • Use balance method or transposition to solve

  • Identify the unknown quantity first
  • Set up the equation based on given conditions
  • Solve systematically

  • General form: ax + by + c = 0
  • Has infinitely many solutions
  • Solutions are ordered pairs (x, y)

Common Mistakes to Avoid

When moving terms from one side to another, students forget to change the sign

The equation x + y = 5 has only one solution: (1,4) or (2,3)

In elimination method, students add/subtract equations without making coefficients equal first

Memory Tips

General form of linear equation in one variable: ax + b = 0

Steps for solving linear equations using balance method

Transposition method - change signs when moving terms across equals sign

Linear equation in two variables: ax + by + c = 0
