Balancing Linear Equations Worksheet

Mathematical scales balancing equations

⚖️ Part 1: One-Step Linear Equations

Instructions: Solve each equation by performing the same operation on both sides. Show your working.

1. x + 7 = 15
2. 3y = 21
3. m - 9 = 4
4. n ÷ 5 = 8

🔢 Part 2: Two-Step Linear Equations

Instructions: Solve each equation using two operations. Remember to work backwards from the order of operations.

5. 2x + 5 = 17
6. 4y - 3 = 13
7. 3m + 8 = 26
8. Which equation has the solution x = 6?

2x + 4 = 16

3x - 2 = 15

x + 8 = 15

5x = 25

📊 Part 3: Inequalities and Substitution

9. Solve the inequality: x + 4 > 10
10. If x = 3, find the value of 4x - 7
11. Sarah has $25. She buys lunch for $8 and wants to buy some books that cost $4 each. Write and solve an inequality to find how many books she can buy.
12. Check which values make the equation 2n + 1 = 9 true:

n = 3

n = 4

n = 5

n = 6
