Make sure you are confident in calculating with negative numbers, which is a skill often needed to solve equations. To solve the equation, do the inverse operation. The inverse of multiplying by 12 is ...

⇒x = 7 + 2 (by transposing 2 to R.H.S.) ⇒y = 10 − 3 (by transposing 3 to R.H.S.) ⇒y= 7. 1.6 = y/1.5 ⇒1.6 x 1.5 = (y/1.5) x 1.5 [On multiplying both sides by 1.5] ...

Linear functions are used to model a broad range of real-world problems. The ability to solve linear equations and inequalities is an essential skill for analysing these models. This section covers ...

Grade school math students are likely familiar with teachers admonishing them not to just guess the answer to a problem. But a new proof establishes that, in fact, the right kind of guessing is ...

Most linear algebra courses start by considering how to solve a system of linear equations. \[ \begin{align} a_{0,0}x_0 + a_{0,1}x_0 + \cdots a_{0,n-1}x_0 & = b_0 ...
