Write equations for the following statements: (i) The sum of numbers x and 4 is 9. (ii) 2 subtracted from y is 8. (iii) Ten times a is 70. (iv) The number b divided by 5 gives 6. (v) Three-fourth of t is 15. (vi) Seven times m plus 7 gets you 77. (vii) One-fourth of a number x minus 4 gives 4. (viii) If you take away 6 from 6 times y, you get 60. (ix) If you add 3 to one-third of z, you get 30
Solve the following equations by trial and error method: (i) 5p + 2 = 17 (ii) 3m – 14 = 4
