In this section you are shown how to solve linear equations which contain one or more terms containing the unknown.

In the video tutorial you are shown how to expand expressions containing a single bracket.

The examples have been chosen to reflect various features that you are likely to encounter.

In the video tutorial you are shown how to expand expressions containing several brackets.

Again these examples have been chosen to reflect various features that you are likely to encounter. The aim to show you the best way to set these out and tackle them.

It is useful to be able to square a bracket straight off without having to go into too much working. This is especially important when it comes to completing the square. In this tutorial you are shown how. The video contains a summary exercise.

When working with expressions and equations it is important to be able to recognise what a term is. Check out the video if you are not sure or take the quick summary exercise.

Summary Exercise

It is important to know the difference between an identity or an equation, what notation do we use? Well, this video will aim to show you the difference.

This is the first in a series of videos to help you to start solving linear equations. Before you start make sure that you are familiar with what we mean by a term.

Summary Exercise

In this video, you are now shown you how to handle an equation with a negative x term in.

Summary Exercise

In this video, I now show you how to handle an equation with two x terms and two constants.

Summary Exercise

We now start to extend the work covered so far by looking at equations with brackets. In this second example in the video, care must be taken. Very easy to trip up.

Summary Exercise

In this next section we start to work with equations that are fractions. We first start with some basic ones consisting of two terms, one of which is a fraction.

We continue to look at fractional equations consisting of one term which is a fraction but in the denominator of that fraction there are two terms.

In this next video we now look at fractional equations consisting of at least 3 terms where one of them is a fraction.

Next we now look at fractional equations consisting of at least 2 terms which are fractions.

This is the last in this series where we now look at fractional equations where x appears in the denominator of both fractions.
