LESSON 1
TOPIC: SIMPLE EQUATION AND WORLD PROBLEMS

DEFINITION OF EQUATIONS
Equations are open sentences which have the equal sign. Solving an equation means finding a value of the unknown which makes the equation true. Any letter a, f, c, x etc. can be used as unknown. The set of values which make an equation true is called the truth set.

Example 1
Solve the following simple equations:
3a-8 = 10
10x – 7 = 27
4 + 5y = 19

Solution
a.) 3a – 8 = 10
Method 1

3a – 8 + 8 =10 +8
3a = 18
3a/3=18/3 = 6

Method 2
3a – 8 = 10
3a = 10 + 8
3a = 18
a = 18/3 = 6

Image

Note: If a number is moved from one side to an equation over the equal sign to the other side, the sign of the number changes.

b.) 10x – 7 = 27
Method 1
10x – 7 + 7 = 27 + 7
10x = 34
10x/10=34/10
x = 3.4
Method 2
10x – 7 = 27
10x = 27+ 7
x = 34/10 = 3.4

EXAMPLE 2
Solve the following equations:
4(3y-2) = 6
2 (x-8) = 3(x+5)

Solution
4 (3y-2) = 6

Removing the bracket we have
12y-8=6
Solving the equation
12y= 6 +8 =14
y= 14/12 = 7/6 = 1 1/6


2(x-8) = 3(x+5)

Removing the brackets
2x-16 = 3x+15

Collecting the like terms together and solving
-16-15 = 3x-2x
-31 = x
Or
x = -31

Image

EXAMPLE 3
Solve the following equations
(a-2)/3=4
5=(2x-3)/7
2/3x+2/2=1/x
Solution

(a-2)/3=4
Multiply both sides by 3
(a-2)/3 ×3=4×3
a-2 = 12
a =12+2
a = 14


5=(2x-3)/7
Multiply both sides by 7
5×7=2x-3
35 + 3 = 2x
38 =2x
x=38/2
x =19


2/3x+2/2=1/x
Collecting the like terms together
2/3x-1/x=(-1)/x
(L.C.M of 3 and x is 3x)
(2-3)/3x=(-1)/2
(-1)/3x=(-1)/2
-2 = 13x
(-2)/(-3)=x ∴x=2/3

Image




LESSON 2
WORD PROBLEM ON SIMPLE EQUATIONS
This is the same as solving simple equations.

EXAMPLE:
I think of a number, add 3 to it and then divide the result by 5. If the answer equals the original number, what is the number?
The average cost of a number of erasers is 50k. if all the erasers cost N 20, find the total number of erasers.

Solution:
Let the number be x.
3 added to the number becomes: x+3
Divide the result by 5: (x+3)/5
And since the result equals original number, we have,
(x+3)/5=x
Solving, we have,
(x+3)/5=x


(x+3)/5×5/1=x×5
x +3 = 5x
3 = 5x-x
3 = 4x
3/4 = x
Let the number of erasers be y
Average cost of erasers = N20/y
Average cost of erasers = 50/100= 20/y
(50×100)/100=20/y×100

50 = 2000/y
50y = 2000/y×y/1
50y = 2000
∴ y = 40 erasers

Image

EVALUATION:
Solve the following equations;
4x/5-2x/3=4
(y-3)/3-y/2=0

LESSON 4
TOPIC: Forming equation from words.
REFERENCE BOOK: New General Mathematics f or JS2, Page 114.
BEHAVIOURAL OBJECTIVES: At the end of this lesson, students should be able to use the balance method to solve equations.

Image

CONTENTS
Example: I think of a number. I multiply it by 5. I add 15. The result is 100. What is the number I thought of?
Let the number be n
I multiply n by 5: 5n
I add 15: 5n + 15
The result is 100: 5n + 15 = 100

Subtract 15 from both sides.
5n + 15 - 15 = 100 - 15
5n = 85

Divide both sides by 5
5n/5 = 85/5
n = 17.

BEHAVIOURAL OBJECTIVES: At the end of this lesson, students should be able to solve equations containing brackets.

Image

CONTENTS
Find two consecutive even numbers such that seven times the smaller number subtracted from nine times the greater number makes 46.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 . . . are consecutive whole numbers.
2, 4, 6, 8, 10 . . . are consecutive even numbers.
1, 3, 5, 7, 9 . . . are consecutive odd numbers.
Let the number be x and (x + 2)

Multiply x by 7: = 7x

Multiply (x + 2) by 9: = 9(x + 2)

Subtract: 9(x + 2) - 7x

LESSON 7
TOPIC: Word Problems with Fractions
REFERENCE BOOK: New General Mathematics for JS2, Page 117.
BEHAVIOURAL OBJECTIVES: At the end of this lesson, students should be able to solve word problems with fractions.

Image

CONTENTS
I add 55 to a certain number and then divide the sum by 3. The result is four times the first number . Find the number.

Let the number be n.
I add 55 to n: this gives n + 55
I divide the sum by 3: this gives (n + 55)/ 3
The result is 4n.
So (n + 55)/3 = 4n

Multiply both sides by 3.
Thus n + 55 = 12n
55 = 12n - n
55 = 11n
55/11 = n
5 = n

TOPIC: WORD PROBLEMS ON ALGEBRAIC FRACTIONS

CONTENT:
Word problems leading to simple algebraic fractions
Problem solving

WORD PROBLEMS LEADING TO SIMPLE ALGEBRAIC FRACTIONS
When solving word problems, the following points are important:
Use a letter to represent the unknown
Translate problem from words to algebraic form
Make an equation out of it
Solve equation completely to get the unknown
Where it involve fraction, first clear the fraction using LCM
Give the answer in a written form
Check the result against the information given in the question

https://youtu.be/DfbQjiSooOo

PROBLEM SOLVING
Ojo add 15 to a number and then divide the sum by three. The result is twice the first number. Find the number.
Solution:
Let the number be n
Ojo add 15 to n : n+15
Ojo divide the result by 3: (n+15)/3
The result is 2n
This implies that: (n+15)/3=2n
Multiply both sides 3 to clear the fraction
n+15=6n
Collecting like terms,
15=6n-n
15=5n
Dividing both side by 5, the result is 3 ie n=3
Therefore, the number is 3


I add 60 to a certain number and then divide the result by 12, the quotient is 6. Find the original number.

Solution:
Let the number be x
I add 60 to the number i.e x+60
Dividing result by 12 implies (x+60)/12
Quotient means answer ∴(x+60)/12=6
Multiply through by 12 to clear the fraction: x+60=6x12
This implies: x+60=72
x=72-60=12
The original number is 12.

Juliet is n years old and her brother is half of her age. The sum of their ages is half of their father’s age who is now 60. How old is Juliet and her brother?
Image

Solution:
Juliet age is n years
Her brother’s age is half of hers i.e 1/2 n years
Their Father’s age is 60 years and half of 60 is 30.
Sum of their ages is half of their father:

n+1/2 n=30
Multiply through by 2 to clear the fraction:
2n+n=60
3n=60
n=60/3=10
This means that: Juliet is 10 years and her brother is 5 years.

TOPIC: GRAPH
Content:
Plotting points on Cartesian plane
Linear equation in two variables
Graph of linear equation in two variables

PLOTTING POINTS ON CARTESIAN PLANE
Graph is a picture of numerical data. A familiar example is the representation of numbers on the number line. The positions of the number on the line are called points.

CARTESIAN PLANE
This is plane surface with axes drawn on it. The Cartesian is derived from a French philosopher and mathematician who work out the possibility of presenting geometry in a numerical form. His full name is Rene Descartes, hence the name Cartesian

Cartesian plane
Image


We describe a point on a Cartesian plane by two numbers say (x,y) called coordinates. x is the distance of the point from vertical line called y-axis and y is the distance of the point from horizontal line called x-axis. The figure illustrates more.

Image

The position of each point is given by an ordered pair of number. These are called co-ordinates of the point. The first number is called the x- coordinate and second number is called y-coordinate. The coordinates are separated by a comma.
A(3,2) B(-2,1) C(-3,-2) D(3,-2)
https://youtu.be/BXhNY0hZmzE

Evaluation:
Plot the following points on a graph:
(2,4), (5,1), (3,4),(1,1)
(6,6), (1,6), (4,4), (1,4)






LINEAR GRAPH
This is also called straight line graph. A linear graph is obtained by plotting the points whose coordinates (x,y) satisfying a linear equation of the form y=ax+c, where a and c are given constants and a≠0.
a= gradient and c=intercept


PLOTTING OF GRAPH
This is the process by which those recorded pairs of points in the in the table of values are now transferred onto the graph paper appropriately.
To do this accurately the following points are considered:
Prepare a table of value for function or equation given
Draw the axes (x-axis and y-axis)
Choose the appropriate scale if not given
Choose any convenient range of your choice for x if not given.
Plot the points according to the calculated coordinate pairs
Join the plotted points using rule for a straight line graph and curve for quadratic graph

Example:
Plot the graph of the function y=x-3 using values of x from -3 to 2

Solution:
x -3 -2 -1 0 1 2
-3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3
y -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1

LESSON 28
TOPIC: SCALE DRAWING
Content:
Scale
Scale drawing
Reading scale drawing Scale

SCALE
A scale simply means the dimension or proportion of objects in comparison to its original or actual size after the drawing. It is widely use in sciences especially in Geography, Biology, Mathematics, Physics, etc.
The scale of a drawing is determined by comparing the length of the drawing with the actual length of the object.

Scale = (Length of the object after drawing)/(corresponding length of object before drawing )

Image

EVALUATION:
Use measurement to find the scale of the following shapes/figures:
Image


SCALE DRAWING
In scale drawing the materials needed are pencil, ruler and set square. The drawings should be on plane sheets or white papers. The dimensions of the actual object should be written on the drawing and a title has to accompany it. However, a rough sketch must be drawn first.

Example:
A measurement of 8000m is drawn to a scale where 1cm represents 500m. Find its length on the drawing.

Solution:
500m is represented by 1cm.
1m is represented by 1/500 cm
8000m is represented by 8000×1/500 cm=16cm
Length on drawing = 16cm.

Image
https://youtu.be/vfW_0fdPzps


LESSON 29
READING SCALE DRAWING
Reading scale drawing is common to map reading and interpretation. For instance, scales on maps are often given in the ratio form as 1 : n.
A map of scale 1 : 50 000 means 1cm represents 50 000cm.
This means 1cm on map represents 50 000cm on land.

Map scale =(actual distance)/(distance on map)

Rearranging the above formula we have:
Actual distance = map scale x distance on map

OR Distance on map =(actual distance)/(map scale)

Image

Example:
Change the scale 1 : 800 000 to the form 1cm represents ….km.

Solution:
1:800 000 means 1cm represents 800 000cm.
But 1km = 100 000cm
∴ 1cm represents 800 000 ÷100 000 = 8km

The scale is 1cm represents 8km.

Image

https://youtu.be/65NNqghwrtU

EVALUATION
Two cities are 70km apart. The distance between them is 20cm on the map. What is the scale of the map?
Rewrite the following scales in the form 1:n
1cm represent 20 000cm
1cm represents 500 000cm
