Read the approaches used by the two teachers to teach solving oflinear equation, say 2x - 6 = 10

Teacher A Teacher B

Steps

(a)Take 6 on other

(b) Change the sign of 6 and add to 10

(c) Get 2x = 16

(d)Take 2 on the other side and divide

(e) Get x = 8

Steps

(i) Equation always mentain equality. So,

same operation with same number can be performed on both sides to maintain equality

(ii) HENCE, 2X - 6 + 6 = 10 + 6 = 2X = 16

(iii) 2x2 = 162  x = 8
