BALANCING 2 AIM: To solve equations with variables on both sides
T T T T 5 T T 11 4T + 5 = 2T + 11
T T T 5 T 11 4T + 5 = 2T T + 5 = T + 11
T T T + 5 = 2T T + 5 = T T + 5 = 11 T T T = 3
T T T T T 2 T T 17 5T + 2 = 2T + 17
T T T T 2 T 17 5T + 2 = 2T T + 2 = T + 17
T T T T + 2 = 2T T + 2 = T T + 2 = 17 T T T = 5
T T T T T -10 T 18 5T - 10 = T + 18
T T T T T - 10 = T T - 10 = 18 T T T = 7
T T T T T T -15 T T T 3 6T - 15 = 3T + 3 How many Ts can I take from each side?
T T T T - 15 = 3T + 3 How many Ts can I take from each side? 3T - 15 = 3 T T T = 6
Now try these. Draw a diagram and use it to help you solve these equations. 1.4T + 1 = 2T T + 3 = 2T T + 8 = T T - 1 = 4T T - 11 = T T + 4 = 3T T - 6 = 3T + 1 T = 4 T = 6 T = 2 T = 5 T = 3.5
