11. An expression is a mathematical phrase made up of numbers (1,8, 2000) and/or variables (n, x,
a) connected by operations (+, -, x, ). An equation is a mathematical statement that two
expressions are equal. Examples are: 2n = 10; 8+5=13; 4k-17=63. An equation contains an =
sign.

equation:
To solve for an unknown variable in an equation,
you must isolate the variable
by doing the same thing to both sides of the equation.
When you have finished solving for the variable, remember to check your answer by substituting the
number back into the original question to see if it works.

17. In this question a formula is given (A=l x h). In addition the values of two of the variables are
given (A = 60 cm) (h = 5cm). Begin by substituting these given values into the formula. This will
leave only one variable (l) as an unknown to solve for.
(60 cm = l x 5cm) To solve for l, simply do this in the same way that you would solve for any
unknown variable in an equation, by isolating this variable by doing the same thing to both sides of
the equation.
18, 58 Balance scales can be used to model an equation. When the pans are balanced, the mass in
one pan is equal to the mass in the other pan. Balance scales, like equations, have two sides. To solve
for an unknown variable on a balance scale, you isolate it by doing the same thing to both pans of
the balance.

19. To solve some equations you need to do operations with integers. Rules for adding and
subtracting integers are as follows:
Instead of using tiles or a number line, the following rules may be used to add integers:
1. If the signs are the same, add the numbers and keep the same sign.
Examples:
(+3) + (+5) = +8
(-7) + (-5) = -12
2. If the signs of the integers are different, subtract the numbers and take the sign of the
numerically larger number.
Examples:
(-9) + (+4) = -5
(+8) + (-3) = +5
Tiles or number lines can be helpful to use as a model when solving integer problems.

has more than one mode and sometimes it has no mode.

26. The median is the middle number when data are arranged in numerical order; if there is an even
number of data, the median is the mean of the two middle numbers.

28. See question 26.
29. An outlier is a number in a set that is significantly different from the other numbers. It may be
much higher or much lower than any other number. Sometimes outliers are removed from the set of
data before mean or median are calculated because they distort the whole set of data if they are
included.

http://www.mathsisfun.com/definitions/outlier.html
30. The mean, or the average, of a set of data is the sum of the set of numbers divided by the number
of numbers in the set. To find the mean of the following set of numbers do the following:
10, 12, 7, 16, 16, 31, 20, 24
Add the numbers up. 10+12+7+16+16+31+20+24 = 136
Now divide the sum of 136 by 8 because there were 8 numbers in total.
136 8 = 17, so the mean of this set of numbers is 17.
To solve question 30 on this sheet, you will have to work backwards. In order to average, or have a
mean mark of 84 after 5 tests, Don will need to have a total of 84 x 5 or 420 after 5 tests. His marks
so far total 333 so he will need to score the difference (420-333) on his 5th test. He therefore will
need a mark of 87 on that test.

32. Probability is the likelihood of a particular outcome; the number of times a particular outcome
occurs, written as a fraction of the total number of outcomes.
When the outcomes of an experiment are equally likely, the probability of an event occurring is:
Number of outcomes favorable to that event
Number of possible outcomes

51, 53 Before comparing fractions, you should begin by rewriting them so they have a common
denominator. Then compare numerators. If the denominators are the same, then the fraction with the
greater denominator is greater. (See question 2). In some cases, you may compare them simply by
observing pictures.

to that sum. See question 2.

54. To convert an improper fraction, such as
17
to a mixed number do the following. Begin by

dividing the numerator into the denominator. In the example above, 5 would go into 17 three times
with a remainder of 2. Therefore 3 would be the whole number part of the mixed number and 2
would be the numerator or top number of the fraction part. The denominator of the fraction part
would remain the same which would be 5 in this case. Therefore,

56. See question 12. A question like this one can also be solved by cross-multiplying.
See question 4.
57. See question 12. For this question, isolate 3x first and then isolate x. Remember to isolate by
doing the same thing to both sides of the equation. To get rid of the -5 on the left side of the
equation, you have to do the inverse operation which would be +5, so add 5 to each side of the
equation. Finally, since x has been multiplied by 3 on the left side of the equation, you can do the
inverse operation, which is to divide by 3 to isolate x. Because you multiplied by 3 on the left side of
the equation, you need to do the same on the right side of the equation.
Check your final answer by plugging the value of x back into the original equation.

67. See question 38. Tell which line segments are parallel by naming them. For example, line
segments PB and RD are parallel. This could also be written: PB RD .
