Workshop: Algebra 2 Topics Covered: Solving Linear Equations Transposition of formulae Solving Linear Equations When we talk about linear equations we are referring to equations that are in terms of one variable. Definition: A linear equation is an equation that can be written in the form ax + b = 0 where a and b are real numbers. Linear equations have one root. To find the solution of the linear equation, get the variable involved on one side and all constants on the other side of the equals sign using inverse operations. The solution can be checked by substituting the value back into the original equation and making sure that the right hand side equals the left hand side. Questions (Solving linear equations): Solve the following linear equations: 1. 2 + 3x = 23 2. -17 = 16x + 3 3. 9x + 5 = 7x + 3x – 2 4. 5(x – 3) + 4x – 1 = 2x + 3(x – 2) 5. 1 (x + 7 ) = 3x + 9 2 5 Dr. Mundeep Gill Brunel University 1 Algebra 2 Transposition of formulae A formula, in mathematics, gives a relationship between different quantities. When there is more then one, we use the word formulae. When working with formulae, it may be necessary to single out one of the quantities involved in terms of all the others. This procedure is often referred to as transpose the formula and make that quantity the subject of the equation. The procedures used to transpose a formula to make a certain quantity the subject is the same as those used to re-arrange linear equations. Questions (Transposition of formulae): In each of the following, transpose the given formula to make the symbol in brackets the subject of the formula. 1. y = 2(w + h) (h); 2. m = k a(1 − x ) (x); 3. y = a + 1 1− x (x); 4. a(3b – 1) = 2b + 2 (b); 5. a = 2 − 7b 3 + 5b (b); 6. n = 1 r 2L p (r); Dr. Mundeep Gill Brunel University 2
