Chapter 6 – Simple Linear Equations ASSIGNMENT
POINTS TO REMEMBER
1. Equation: An equation is a statement which states that two expressions are equal.
2. To solve an equation means to find the value of the variable (unknown quantity) used in it.
Note: An equation remains unchanged if
(i) the same number is added to each side of the equation. .
(ii) the same number is subtracted from each side of the equation.
(iii) the same number is multiplied to each side of the equation.
(iv) Each side of the equation is divided by the same non-zero number.
(v) In transposing any term of an equation from one side to another, then its sign is reversed is
(a) from positive to negative and from negative to positive
(b) from multiplication to division and from division to multiplication.
3. In equation :
It is a statement of inequality between two expressions involving a single variable with the highest power one.
4. Replacement set
For a given inequation, the set from which the values of its variable are taken is called the replacement set or domain of the variable.
