Introduction to Equations

In Mathematics, an equation is a
statement that the two numbers or two
expressions are equal. In the equation x +
3 = 5, the expression x + 3 is called the
left hand side while 42, 53, 54, 64, 65 and
5 are called the right-hand side.

Introduction to Equations
To solve an equation means to find all of the
solutions to the equation. Any value of the
variable that makes the equation a true
statement is a root or solution to the
equation. Equations that have the same
solution are equivalent equations. The
equations x + 3 = 5 and x = 2 are equivalent
equations because both of these equations
have a solution of x = 2
Equation – a mathematical statement
that shows two numbers or two
expressions are equal.
Root or solution – any value of the
variable that makes the equation a true
statement.
Equivalent equations- are equations that
have the same solution.
Ex. x – 5 = 6 and x = 11
Identity- an equation that is satisfied by
every number for which both sides are
defined.
Ex. x + x = 2x
Inconsistent equation – an equation that
has no solution.
Ex. x = x + 1
Conditional equation – an equation that has
at least one solution but is not an identity.
Ex. 2x – 4 = 0

Expression and Equation


Expression :
10x + 30
Equation:
10x + 30 = 100
Linear Equation
When the highest power of the variable of
an equation in one variable is 1, the
equation is linear (also called a first degree
equation). It is equivalent to an equation
of the form ax + b= 0 where a and b are
real numbers and a ‡ 0.
Examples of Linear equation:
3x = 12, 8x + 10 = 50, x + 7 = 25
Properties of Equality
1.Addition Property of Equality (APE)
If x = y, then x + z = y + z
2. Subtraction Property of Equality
(SPE)
If x = y, then x – z = y – z
3. Multiplication Property of Equality
(MPE)
If x = y, then xz = yz
4. Division Property of Equality
(DPE)
If x = y, then
5. Substitution Law
If x + y = z , and x = y, then y
+ y = z or x+x=z
Other Properties of Equality:
1.Reflexive Property
x = x, y = y , z = z
2. Symmetric Property
if x = y, then y = x
3. Transitive Property ( TPE)
if x = y and y = z then x = z
