Lesson outcome

I can recognise that there is more than one way to remove a bracket when solving an equation.

Show transcript
It is possible to divide by the coefficient of the bracket first when solving an equation. When there are common factors this may be the most efficient method. When the coefficient is a fraction it may be helpful to rewrite the equation. It is possible to expand the bracket before solving an equation. You will need to be able to make decisions about the most efficient method to a solution.
