Equations
An equation is a mathematical statement that shows 2 quantities are equal. An equation contains an equal sign. 12 – 3 = 9 Numerical 3a = 30 Algebraic Equations
Equations Equals Sign (=) Means that the amount is the same on both sides = 6 5 – 2 = 3
An Equation is like a balance scale. Everything must be equal on both sides = Equations
When the amounts are equal on both sides it is a true equation = Equations
When the amounts are unequal on both sides it is a false equation = Equations
When an amount is unknown on one side of the equation it is an open equation. 7 n + 2 = Equations
When you find a number for n you change the open equation to a true equation. You solve the equation. 7 n + 2 = 5 Equations
Are these equations true, false or open? = = 17 N + 4 = 7 12 – 3 = v = – 6 = 9 false true open false open true Equations
