Common questions

Translate the situation into an equation showcasing the relationship; resolve via algebraic manipulation. For "half a number minus 5 is 7," the equation is x/2 - 5 = 7. Adding 5 gives x/2 = 12; multiply by 2 to find x = 24, which satisfies the problem’s conditions .

To solve an age-related word problem, define variables for the ages and set up equations based on the problem's conditions. For example, for "Father’s age is 3 more than twice son’s age, sum is 45," let son's age be x, then father's age is 2x + 3. The equation is x + (2x + 3) = 45. Solve for x to find son’s age as 14, making father's age 31 .

Validate a solution by substituting it back into the original problem to check if all conditions are satisfied. In a problem like "the sum of a number and its double is 72," the equation is x + 2x = 72. Solving gives x = 24. Verify by checking 24 + 48 = 72, confirming the solution is correct .

Use algebra to express the relation in terms of multiplication and addition/subtraction. For instance, "3 times a number decreased by 8 is 19" translates to 3x - 8 = 19. Solving the equation, add 8 to both sides to get 3x = 27, then divide by 3 to find x = 9 .

To solve a linear equation with variable terms on both sides, first get all variable terms on one side and constant terms on the other. For example, in 9a - 5 = 4a + 20, subtract 4a from both sides to get 5a - 5 = 20. Then, add 5 to both sides to get 5a = 25, and divide by 5 to find a = 5 .

Simultaneous equations are solved using substitution or elimination. For example, "Father is 4 times son's age, after 5 years he'll be 3 times son's age.” Let son’s age be x; father is 4x. After 5 years: 4x + 5 = 3(x + 5). Solving gives x = 10; thus, father is 40. Validate by checking calculations in original context .

To solve for a variable in a linear equation where the variable is multiplied by a constant and added to another constant, isolate the variable on one side of the equation. For example, in the equation 5x + 12 = 37, subtract 12 from both sides to get 5x = 25, then divide by 5 to find x = 5 .

To find two consecutive even numbers with a given sum, represent the smaller number as x and the larger as x + 2. For example, the sum being 54 gives the equation x + (x + 2) = 54. Simplifying gives 2x + 2 = 54; solve for x to get x = 26. The numbers are 26 and 28 .

To find the number of items when given the total cost and price per item, divide the total cost by the price. For example, if pens cost Rs. 15 each and the total cost is Rs. 750, solve 15x = 750, where x is the number of pens, yielding x = 50 pens .

Given a perimeter problem where one dimension is a fixed amount more than another, define variables, set up an equation for the perimeter, and solve. For example, perimeter = 2(length + width), length is 4 more than width: l = w + 4. The equation is 2(w + (w + 4)) = 50, which simplifies to 4w + 8 = 50; solving gives w = 11 cm and l = 15 cm .
