This worksheet builds fluency in forming and solving simple linear equations of the forms x + a = b and x − a = b, using real-life contexts. Learners focus on interpreting the language in each scenario to decide whether it represents an addition or subtraction situation.
In Section A, learners are presented with two scenarios and must choose the correct equation that models each one. Section B follows a similar format, but this time they select all the equations that represent each scenario, including the steps taken to solve them and the final solutions.
In Section C, learners form equations for four scenarios based on everyday situations. Finally, Section D requires them to both form and solve equations for six additional scenarios, helping to consolidate their understanding through independent practice.
