Introduction

An equation is like a perfect balance. It has two sides (the Left Hand Side and the Right Hand Side) separated by an equals sign (=).

Solving a linear equation means finding the value of the unknown number that makes the equation true.

We are going to learn two helpful methods to find that missing numbe!

CISCE: Class 6

Solving Equations of Common Forms

1. Equation of the form

Example:
x + 3 = 10
⇒ x + 3 − 3 = 10 − 3
⇒ x = 7

2. Equation of the form

Example:
x − 5 = 2
⇒ x - 5 + 5 = 2 + 5
⇒ x = 7

3. Equation of the form

Example:

4. Equation of the form

Example:
`y/2` = 5 ⇒ `y/2` × 2 = 5 × 2
⇒ y = 10

CISCE: Class 6

Solving Using Transposition

Transposition means moving a term from one side to another by changing its sign.

Equation	Step	Answer
(x + 5 = 32)	(x = 32 – 5)	(x = 27)
( y - 4 = 3 )	( y = 3 + 4 )	( y = 7 )
( 3z - 1 = 8 )	(3z = 8 + 1 = 9), then divide.	(z = 3)
(`x/5` + 4 = 2)	(`x/5` = 2 – 4 = –2 ), then ×5	(x = –10)

CISCE: Class 6

Solving Using Multiple Properties

(i) 3x + 8 = 14

⇒ 3x + 8 − 8 = 14 − 8 [Subtracting 8 from both sides]

⇒ 3x = 6

⇒ `"3x"/3` = `6/3`

⇒ x = 2

(ii) `m/3` + 7 = 11

⇒ `m/3` + 7 − 7 = 11 − 7

⇒ `m/3` = 4

⇒ `m/3` × 3 = 4 × 3

⇒ m = 12

(iii) 2 + `"5x"/3` = x + 6

⇒ 2 + `"5x"/3` − 2 = x + 6 − 2

⇒ `"5x"/3` = x + 4

⇒ `"5x"/3` − x = x + 4 − x

⇒ `"5x"/3` − x = 4

⇒ `"5x"/3` × 3 − x × 3 = 4 × 3

⇒ 5x - 3x = 12

⇒ 2x = 12

⇒ x = 6

CISCE: Class 6

Real-Life Examples

Example: Pocket Money

You have some money $x$ . You spend ₹20 and have ₹80 left.
Equation:

$⟹ x = 100$

CISCE: Class 6

Key Points Summary

Method 1: Balancing

Rule: Do the same thing to BOTH sides.
Uses: Addition/Subtraction/Multiplication/Division.

Method 2: Transposition

Rule: Change the sign (+ becomes -, - becomes +).

Final Step: Simplify to find the value of the variable.
