Hence this how the question will be
written 5+a=8
We call this an equation. A
mathematical question which
involves two parts with an equal sign
in between.

Let’s see how we can solve problems


using algebra.
E.g. A farmer cultivates apples on a
large scale of land. He plucks them
when they ripped for sale.

On a particular tree, he plucked 15


ripped apples and 8 apples were left
on the tree. So how many apples
were there on the tree?
Let’s use the letter “a” to represent
the total number of apples on the
tree. a-15=8
Thus

So we add the inverse of (-15), that is
• 3 - Turn around (+15) to both side of the equation.
• 4 - Follow me a-15+15=8+15
• 5 - Fire
• 6 - Sister a-15+15=8+15
• 7 - Saviour
• 8 - Eat more fruits a=8+15
• 9 - Nana Yaw
• 10 - Thank your God. a= 23
Have learners to conclude that the
total number of apples on the tree
was 23. So if the farmer pluck 15, it
will be left with 8.
