Equations of the first degree are solved by different ways.
1/ Equations can be solved by method of inspection, e.g.
x – 4 = 6
x = 10
Reason: 10 – 4 = 6
3 y = 21
y = 7
Reason: 3 × 7 = 21
2/ Equations can be solved by working backwards, e.g.
x + 14 = 19
To find the value of x do opposite calculation, i.e. subtract
Solving: 19 – 14 = 5
x = 5
2 y – 1 = 7
Solving: a/ do addition 7 + 1 = 8
b/ do dividing 8 ÷ 2 = 4
y = 4
3/ Equations can be solved by balance method.
The equation remains true if you do the same to both sides of it, that is
a/ adding the same number to both sides,
b/ subtracting the same number from both sides,
c/ dividing both sides by the same number except nought,
d/ multiplying both sides by the same number.
Examples;
a + 5 = 12
Solving: subtract 5 from both sides
a = 7;
b – 2 = 8
Solving: add 2 to both sides
b = 10;
3 c + 1 = 13
Solving: subtract 1 from both sides
3 c = 12
Divide both sides by 3
c = 4
Solution of the equations can include not only whole positive numbers but negative numbers, fractions, and brackets as well.
Remember that any brackets must be removed by multiplying out before solving by balance method. This operation is called expanding. For example:
Solve: 3 (x + 4) = 21
Solving: Expand the brackets
3 x + 12 = 21
3 x = 9
x = 3
To check the solution substitute the root obtained for x in the original equation. The root is true if it fits the equation. In our example: 3(3 + 4) = 21, 7 × 3 = 21.
The root is true.

INEQUALITIES
Expression a > b is read as ‘ a is greater than b ’.
Expression b < c is read as ‘ b is less than c ’.
Expression c ≤ d is read as ‘ c is less than or equal to d ’.
Expression d ≥ c is read as ‘ d is greater than or equal to c ’.
These are inequalities.
An inequality is a mathematical statement, such as x > o, b ≤ 2, - 4 < y < 1.
We can draw a number line to show an inequality, e.g. – 1 < 2
0 •
_/___/___/___/___.___/___/___/___/
-4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4
The value of the numbers to the right of 0 gets bigger.
The value of the numbers to the left of 0 gets smaller.
To solve an inequality means to find the values of the unknown which make the inequality true. Methods of solving inequalities are similar to methods of solving equations.
For example:
3 x – 1 < 14
Solving: a/ add 1 to both sides
3 x < 15
b/ divide both sides by 3
x < 5
The inequality is true for all values of x which are less than 5.
Check: substitute x = 4, then 11 < 14; substitute x = 3, then 8 < 14.
So, the given inequality remains true.

SEQUENCES
Look at the list of the numbers 3, 6, 9, 12, 15… You can notice that they are ordered according to the rule ‘add 3 to find the next term’. This is a number sequence. The number 3 is the first term, the number 6 is the second term of the sequence, and so on. Sequence can be finite or infinite depending on whether it contains limited or unlimited number of terms.
A number sequence which increases (or decreases) by the same amount from one term to the next is called a linear sequence. For example, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9… In this sequence the terms increase by 2 from one term to the next, we say the sequence has a common difference of 2.
If we link the terms of the sequence by the sign ‘+’, then we obtain numerical series. The sum of the first ‘n’ terms of the series is called partial sum of the series (’n’ denotes a quantity of terms in a series).
The Greek letter Σ is the summation sign.
An important characteristic of a sequence is convergence. A sequence can be either a convergent sequence or a divergent sequence. A sequence which has a limit is convergent, otherwise it is divergent.

PROPORTIONS
The faster we are walking the less time we need to finish a definite distance and the longer distance we cover for a definite time. The slower our speed the more time we need to finish a definite distance and the shorter distance we cover for a definite time. So, we see that speed, time, and distance depend on each other. They are said to be proportional to each other.
If the ratio of the two quantities ‘ a ’ and ‘ b ’ (a: b) is always constant, then we say that ‘ b ’ varies directly with ‘ a ’, or ‘ b ’ is proportional to ‘ a ’.
We can express it using symbols: ‘ b α a ’ where ‘α’ means ‘proportional to’
The relation between ‘ a ’ and ‘ b ’ can also be expressed as an equation ‘ b = ka’ where ‘ k ’ is the constant of proportionality.
If one quantity increases and the other increases at the same rate, they are in direct proportion. In our example at constant time speed and distance are in direct proportion.
If one quantity (‘ a ’) increases and the other quantity (‘ b ’) decreases at the same rate, these quantities are in inverse proportion.
In this case ‘ b’ varies directly with 1/ a, or we may say ‘ b ’ is inversely proportional to a. It can be expressed by symbols as ‘ b α 1/ a’.
The relationship between ‘ a ’ and ‘ b ’ can also be expressed as an equation: b = k/a where ‘ k ’ is the constant of proportionality.
In our example at constant distance speed and time are in inverse proportion.
The general form of a proportional relation is y α xn or y = kxn .

ANGLES
An angle is regarded as the measure of turn (= rotation). An angle is formed by two lines (sides) meeting at a point which is called vertex.
Angles are measured in degrees. There are several types of angles according to their measure.
Null (=zero) angle = 0º
Acute angle is between 0º and 90º.
Right angle = 90º. Its sides are perpendicular to each other.
Obtuse angle is between 90º and 180º.
Flat (= straight) angle = 180º.
Reflex angle is between 180º and 360º.
Round angle (= perigon) = 360º.
fig.1
Complementary angles are formed inside the right angle by a straight line drawn from its vertex.
Supplementary angles are formed inside a flat angle by a straight line drawn from its vertex.
Vertically opposite angles are formed by two crossing straight lines.
fig.2
Angles at a point are located between straight lines drawn from one point in different directions.
Corresponding angles are always on the same side of the transversal.
Transversal is a straight line crossing two parallel lines.
Alternate angles are on the opposite sides of the transversal.
Allied angles are on the same side of the transversal.
A rotation angle is positive if measured in an anticlockwise sense and negative if in a clockwise sense.
Angles are usually identified by using three capital letters, where the middle letter is a vertex (e.g. A B C). Or you can use small letters to mark the angle (a, b …)
A straight line halving an angle is called bisectrix (= bisector).

TRIANGLES
A shape made by three or more points (vertices) joined by line segments (sides) is called polygon. One of such figures is a triangle. It is formed by three line segments. The number of sides is equal to the number of interior angles. The sum of these angles is 180º. Short for triangle is symbol ∆.
There are some different types of triangles.
Acute angled ∆ has three acute angles.
Obtuse angled ∆ has an obtuse angle.
Right angled ∆ has a right angle.
In scalene ∆ all angles and lengths of sides are different.
Isosceles ∆ has two equal sides and two equal angles.
In equilateral ∆ all sides are equal and each of three angles is 60º.
An exterior angle formed by extending one side of a triangle is always equal to the sum of the two opposite interior angles.
fig.5
A perpendicular dropped from the vertex of the ∆ onto its side is the height of the triangle. A straight line segment from the vertex onto the middle of the opposite side is a median.
To find area of any ∆ multiply the length of its side by its height and divide the product by two.

POLYGONS
A polygon is a shape made by three or more points (vertices) joined by line segments.
A three-sided polygon is a triangle.
A four-sided polygon is a quadrilateral.
A five-sided polygon is a pentagon.
A six-sided polygon is a hexagon.
An eight-sided polygon is an octagon.
fig. 8
It is easy to work out the sum of interior angles of any polygon. Draw diagonals from one vertex. The sum of angles of each triangle is 180º. Multiply 180º by the number of triangles obtained. So, the sum of interior angles of pentagon is 540º, of hexagon - 720º, etc.
In general, for any n- sided polygon, the sum of the interior angles is (n – 2) × 180º.
Substitute the number of sides instead of ‘ n ’ and get the necessary sum.
A polygon where all sides and angles are equal are called regular. For any regular n -sided polygon an exterior angle equals 360º/ n.
The distance from the centre of a regular polygon to one of its vertices is called the long radius. The perpendicular distance from the centre to one of the sides is called the short radius which is also the radius of the inscribed circle of the polygon.
fig. 9
The polygon is convex if all the interior angles are less than or equal to 180º.
The polygon is concave if it has one or more interior angles greater than 180º.

PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM
Theorems are geometrical facts, or properties. To prove the required facts take the facts which are assumed to be true and then by means of them deduce other facts eventually leading to the proof of the required facts. Later, if necessary, this proved fact can be used as true for solving and proving other facts.
For example, Pythagorean Theorem: “The square on the hypotenuse i s equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides”.
Hypotenuse is the longest side in a right-angled triangle.
So, if you know the length of the hypotenuse and one side (cathetus) in a right-angled triangle, you can work out its other side (cathetus).
Let’s name the hypotenuse (= hyp) by the letter a, two other sides by letters b and c. Then Pythagorean Theorem can be written as a formula a2 = b2 + c2.

CIRCLE
Circle is a shape formed on a plane by a line lying on the same distance from a fixed point. We can draw a circle using a compass (= pair of compasses).
Perimeter of a circle is its circumference (= C).
Distance from the centre of the circle to any point on the circumference is called radius (= r).
Space between two radii is a sector.
Distance right across the circle passing through the centre is the diameter (= d). It is twice as long as the radius.
Diameter divides a circle into two semi-circles.
A line joining two points on the circumference is called a chord. A chord divides a circle into two segments.
A line touching a circumference at one point is called tangent. It is perpendicular to the radius at the point of contact.
A part of the circumference is called an arc.
The circumference of any circle equals its diameter multiplied by the number π. An approximate value for ‘π’ is 3.14, i.e. C = π × d.
The area of a circle equals its radius squared multiplied by π, i.e. A = π × r2.

SOLIDS (= 3-D SHAPES)
A solid is a three-dimensional figure. Cuboid, cylinder, sphere, pyramid, cone, and prism are examples of solids.
Parts of solids are called: a face – a flat side of solid, an edge – a line where two sides meet, a vertex – a point at a corner where the edges meet.
To find a volume of a cuboid multiply out its length, breadth (= width), and height.
A cube is a kind of cuboid with equal faces, so its volume is one measure cubed.
Prisms can have bases of different shapes, and they are named according to their base, i.e. a triangle prism, a quadrangular prism, pentagonal prism, hexagonal prism, etc. To find the volume of a prism multiply area of its cross-section by the length.
Cylinder is a prism with circular base. Notice: length is replaced by height. Then we have the formula for its volume: πr2h.
A prism is called right if its lateral edges are at right angles to the base (i.e. the lateral faces are rectangles).
Cone is formed by a closed plane curve on a plane (the base) and all the lines joining points of the base to the vertex not in the plane of the base. Cone can be circular or elliptical depending on the base.
Cone like all 3-dimensional figures has an axis of symmetry, it passes from the vertex to the centre. The cone that has its axis perpendicular to its base is a right cone, otherwise the cone is an oblique cone.
Frustum of a cone is formed by removing the top of the cone with a cut parallel to its circular base.
To find the volume of a cone multiply its base area by its perpendicular height and divide by three. The volume of a frustum is difference between the volume of complete cone and volume of cone removed.
Pyramid consists of a base formed by a polygon and a number of triangles (lateral faces) with a common vertex. Pyramids are named according to the base: a triangular pyramid (tetrahedron), a square pyramid, a pentagonal pyramid, etc.
To find the volume of a pyramid multiply its base area by its perpendicular height and divide by three.
To find the volume of a sphere multiply four thirds by π and its radius cubed.
A plane passing through the centre of a sphere cuts it into two hemisphere s.

TRIGONOMETRY
For finding the length of sides and the sizes of angles in right-angled triangles the laws of trigonometry are used.
There is a definite relationship between sides and angles of a right-angled triangle. The sides of a right-angled ∆ are called hypotenuse and cathetus.
Hypotenuse (= hyp) is the longest side. Cathetus lying directly opposite the angle being used is the opposite side (= opp). Cathetus lying next to this angle is the adjacent (= adj) side.
For example, in the given triangle ABC 
the angle ‘a’ is used. Then the side AB is a hypotenuse (=hyp), the side AC is the opposite side (= opp), and the side BC is the adjacent side (= adj).
The sine ratio
For any right-angled ∆ the sine of angle ‘a’ (= sin a) equals the length of the opposite side divided by the length of the hypotenuse, i.e. sin a = opp/hyp.
We see that the sine ratio connects the length of the hypotenuse, the size of the angle, and the length of the side opposite the angle. Knowing two of these values we can find the third.
Example 1: We are given: hypotenuse = 10 cm, opposite side = 5 cm. It’s required to work out the sin a.
Solving: By the formula sin a = opp/hyp. Substitute known values - sin a = 5/10 = ½. So, sin a = ½.
Example 2: Work out the length of the opposite side if hypotenuse = 5 cm, sin a = ½.
Solving: By the formula sin a = opp/hyp. Substitute known values – sin 1/2 = opp/5. Then we get: opp = 5 × ½ = 2.5. So, the opposite side is 2.5 cm
The cosine ratio
The cosine ratio connects the length of the hypotenuse, the size of the angle, and the length of the adjacent side. If two of these elements are known, it is easy to find the third.
For any right-angled ∆ cosine of angle ‘a’ (= cos a) equals quotient of dividing the length of adjacent side by the length of hypotenuse, i.e. cos a = adj/hyp.
Example 1: We are given: opposite side equals √11 cm, adjacent side is 5cm. It’s necessary to find cos a.
Solving: First we should calculate the length of hypotenuse. By Pythagorean theorem “the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square on the other two sides” we have: hyp2 = opp2 + adj2. Substitute known values and get: hyp = √(11 + 25) = 6. The length of the hypotenuse is 6 cm.
Second. By the formula cos a = adj/hyp. Substitute known values <
