Using Algebraic Expressions: Lesson 1 By the end of this unit of work, you should be able to: ·Use letter symbols ·Simplify linear expressions by collecting like terms ·Solve simple linear equations Keywords: Equal (=) Expression Equation Unknown Adjacent Solve Number Towers You can construct tower totals like this one: 6 3 8 9 11 20 6+3 3+8 9+11
Complete these towers 20 16 48 40 53 100
34 15 100 n n 34 15 100 Work out the second tier: This tower uses the letter n for an unknown number 34 15 100 n Once you know the tower total you can work out the value of n First you form an EXPRESSION for the total using n Work out the second tier: n 34 15 Add together the second tier: The EXPRESSION for the total is: 100 The tower total is 100, so you can write: Now you can solve the EQUATION: an equation uses an equals sign (=) to link two or more EXPRESSIONS
