helpful for checking how the expression changes when numbers are added or taken
away.

b. Do you think this method will help you write expressions?

Yes, using real numbers as examples makes abstract expressions easier to
understand.

c. Can you improve her method?

Yes. Explain clearly that using any value for n helps you test how the operations
affect it. Also, suggest drawing a model or number line if helpful.

7a. Zara and equivalent expressions

Zara says:

The expression 5n+4 is the same as 5×n+4 and 4+5n

 Addition is commutative, so 5n+4=4+5n

✅ So all three expressions are equivalent.

7b. Grouping equivalent expressions

Let’s group the expression cards that are equivalent:

2n+3 = A, D, G, K
2n-3 = B, I

c. Total value of six gold coins is doubled

Let one gold coin = g
👉 2×(6g)=12g
d. Total value of five silver coins is tripled

Exercise 2.5
Constructing and solving equations
1. Solve the equations

a. x + 6 = 10
Subtract 6 from both sides:
x = 10 - 6 → x = 4

b. x - 6 = 10
Add 6 to both sides:
x = 10 + 6 → x = 16
c. 2x = 10
Divide both sides by 2:
x = 10 ÷ 2 → x = 5

2. Solve these equations

a. x + 4 = 11
x = 11 - 4 → x = 7

b. x + 3 = 6
x=6-3→x=3

c. 2+x = 15
x = 15 - 2 → x = 13

d. 7 + x = 19
x = 19 - 7 → x = 12

e. x - 4 = 9
x = 9 + 4 → x = 13

f. x - 2 = 8
x = 8 + 2 → x = 10

g. x - 12 = 14
x = 14 + 12 → x = 26

h. x - 18 = 30
x = 30 + 18 → x = 48

i. 3x = 12
x = 12 ÷ 3 → x = 4

j. 5x = 30
x = 30 ÷ 5 → x = 6

k. 7x = 70
x = 70 ÷ 7 → x = 10
l. 12x = 72

3. Use Dayita's method (Solve when unknown is on the right-hand side)

a. 15 = y + 3
y = 15 - 3 → y = 12

b. 9 = y + 2
y=9-2→y=7

c. 13 = y - 5
y = 13 + 5 → y = 18

d. 25 = y - 3
y = 25 + 3 → y = 28

e. 24 = 8y
y = 24 ÷ 8 → y = 3

f. 42 = 6y
y = 42 ÷ 6 → y = 7

4. Write and solve equations

a. I think of a number and add 3. The answer is 18.

Equation: n + 3 = 18
n = 18 - 3 → n = 15

b. I think of a number and subtract 4. The answer is 10.

Equation: n - 4 = 10
n = 10 + 4 → n = 14

c. I think of a number and multiply it by 4. The answer is 24.

Equation: 4n = 24
n = 24 ÷ 4 → n = 6
5a. Write ‘I think of a number’ statements

i. n - 8 = 3
➡ I think of a number and subtract 8. The answer is 3.

ii. n + 5 = 12
➡ I think of a number and add 5. The answer is 12.

iii. 8n = 96
➡ I think of a number and multiply it by 8. The answer is 96.

5b. Solve the equations in 5a

i. n - 8 = 3
n = 3 + 8 → n = 11

ii. n + 5 = 12
n = 12 - 5 → n = 7

iii. 8n = 96
n = 96 ÷ 8 → n = 12

Question 6: Marking Steffan’s Homework

Steffan's answers:

a.
Given: x+7=−2
His steps:
x=−2−7=−9 → ❌
He wrote:
x=−2−7 , which gives x=−9 , but he wrote x=−5
❌ Mistake

Correct answer:

x+7=−2
x=−2−7=−9

So, correct answer: x=−9

b.
Given: x−6=−2
His solution:
x=−2+6=4
But he wrote: x=−8
❌ Mistake

Correct answer:

x−6=−2
x=−2+6=4

So, correct answer: x=4

c.
Given: 5x=−35
His steps:
x=−35÷5=−7
But he wrote: x=7
❌ Mistake

Correct answer:

x=−35/5=−7

So, correct answer: x=−7

Question 8: Think like a mathematician

a.
i. 2a+8=20
ii. 3b+3=24

b.
i. a=6
ii. b=7

Question 9: Isosceles Triangles

Each triangle has two equal sides, so we form an equation by setting those sides
equal.

a.

Equal sides: 2p+1 and 14

2p+1=14
2p=14−1=13
p=13/2=6.5

b.

Equal sides: 4p−54p - 54p−5 and 37

4p−5=37
4p=37+5=42
p=42/4=10.5
c.

Equal sides: 26 and 6p−10

6p−10=26
6p=26+10=36
p=36/6=6

Question 10: Word Problems

a. Write equations:

i. Paul:
Let x be the number of DVDs Paul started with.

x−3=26

ii. Yaz:
Let y be the number of books Yaz started with.

y+5=18

iii. Nial:
Let d be the distance Nial rode on Monday.

2d=48

iv. Jin:
Let Jin's age = j
Jana's age = 2j+3=35

b. Solve the equations:

i.

x−3=26⇒x=26+3=29
Paul started with 29 DVDs.

ii.

y+5=18⇒y=18−5=13

Yaz started with 13 books.

iii.

2d=48⇒d=24

Nial rode 24 km on Monday.

iv.

2j+3=35⇒2j=32⇒j=16

Jin is 16 years old.

Question 11: Kenji’s Cards

We are to form the equation using:

 One blue card

 One red card
 One yellow card

Then solve for m, and choose:

 One combination for largest solution of m

 One for smallest solution

Let’s try each combination:

1. 4m+4=32
4m=28⇒m=7

2. 2m−6=32
2m=38⇒m=19

3. 6m+2=32
6m=30⇒m=5

4. 4m+4=44
4m=40⇒m=10

5. 2m−6=44
2m=50⇒m=25

6. 6m+2=44
6m=42⇒m=7

7. 4m+4=20
4m=16⇒m=4

8. 2m−6=20
2m=26⇒m=13

9. 6m+2=20

6m=18⇒m=3

Final Answers:

 Largest value of m=25 → From: 2m−6=44

 Smallest value of m=3 → From: 6m+2=20
