Solving Equations Involving Brackets WORKSHEET

Suitable for Year groups: Year 8, Year 9
GCSE Tier: Foundation
Targeting grades: 1-3
Prerequisite knowledge: Algebraic expressions, collecting like terms, expanding single brackets.
Learning Objective: Solving Equations Involving Brackets

Solving Equations Involving Brackets WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

This worksheet follows on from Solving Linear Equations (B) but provides equations involving brackets.

Section A presents equations in the form a(bx+c)=d.

Section B extends on section A by including division or fractions in the equations.

Section C then provides questions with the unknown on both sides and a set of brackets on one side.

Section D then extends this to questions with two sets of brackets with unknowns on one side or both sides of the equations.

All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Maths.

Frequently Asked Questions

Students should be comfortable with algebraic expressions, collecting like terms, and expanding single brackets before tackling these problems. These foundational skills are essential because you'll need to expand brackets systematically and then combine similar terms to isolate the unknown. Without these prerequisite skills, students may struggle with the multi-step processes required in sections C and D.
