These are the 2 questions discussed in class:

Solving Equations involving Fractions: Class Work 4 (p10)

We did part (a) in class today:

Take a look at how we can approach (b)

On your own, try (c) and (d)

Algebra: Equation - THINKING BEHIND: BALANCING

REFER to Study Notes: Important vocabulary...  (p2)

(A) Articulating the Thinking behind the "Balancing of Equation"

Watch the PLAYLIST.
After watching clips: you should
1. be able to articulate the concept of balancing clearly; and
2. no longer use words/ phrases like "cancel", "cross multiply", "move the term over to change sign".


(B) Try the "balancing" act here

Then try to factorise the following in your NOTEBOOK.

[UPDATED After lesson on 21 April (Tuesday)]
During lesson, we went through 1(a) and 4(a). We did not get the time to go through 2(a) & 3(a).

• Fazila asked if we could re-organise the terms; 
• Sylvester asked whether we could extract "-1" (common factor) from the first factor instead of the second one.

Both are feasible and will end up with the same answer :)

I've provided a written explanation for the questions. 

Read through and check with me if you are still not sure.

Do check this working against your own working, too.

Attempt 2(a) and 3(a). Then check your answer against the one below.
