In this lesson, you will learn what the concept of an equation is in math and why we use equations to solve problems. An equation is a mathematical statement in math the contains an equal sign. We use letters of the alphabet to be a placeholder for an unknown number. We then use the equation and the rules of math to solve the equation for the unknown variable. We will present various problems where we must interpret what equation to write down to represent our problem statement.

I think understanding equations is a good foundation for algebra!

[@hemrajue3434]

Formulas do form an equation. Eg if the length and breadth of a rectangle are 2cm and 4cm respectively, what's the area?
A=l×b=2×4=8cm^2.

[@MathAndScience]

Yes!

I found it great using brackets to point the results. This is something I learned only after high school.

Great way of explaination. Sir could you please start Books called D1 D2 and D3 maths oxford level. Now a days books names have been changed New syllabus Mathematics 1. Kindly start these books, it's almost fir beginners and too helpful

[@Forevertrue]

The equal sign means " same as"! The left side is the same as the right side. K= 11x 2 means K is the same as 11x22. That helped me.

[@MathAndScience]

Yes perfect!

[@jyotidwivedi2546]

what kind of board you are using sir?

[@drumtwo4seven]

Dry erase

[@kevindick7485]

What I do not like on literal sentence based equation is these examples are simple . Later on sentences are written over complex .That has been a stumbling block for me. Why not just get to the point of a sentence instead of complicating it with mumble f**k as described by one of my many English instructors ?

[@pseuda]

I am intriged by your point of view... Could you better describe your complaining?

For your international audience, we don't have gummy worms in the UK. What are gummy worms?

[@MathAndScience]

Hahha so they are little gummy gelatin candies in the shape of a worm. Kind of chewy and sweet!

[@jjsmallpiece9234]

@@MathAndScience ah, we call something similar Harribo chewy sweets, candy for our US cousins.
