Introduction: Simple equation is a mathematical statement that two algebraic expressions are equal. The two quantities are connected with equality sign.
Simple equation can be solved by: (a) balancing method and (b)collecting like terms.
Example 1: Solve 5z + 6 = 26 by:
(a) balancing method and; (b) Collecting like terms
Solution
(a) By balancing method:
5z + 6 = 26
Subtract 6 from both sides
5z + 6 – 6 = 26 – 6
5z = 20
Divide both sides by 5
z = 4
(b) By collecting like terms:
5z + 6 = 26
collect like terms
5z = 26 – 6
5z = 20
Divide both sides by 5
z = 4
