📝 Wāhanga 3: Fill in the Blanks (Whakakī i ngā Kōwhiti)

6. Complete the sentences using the correct Māori mathematical terms:

a) To solve the __________ (equation) 4x = 20, we need to __________ (divide) both sides by 4.

b) The __________ (variable) in the equation y + 8 = 15 is y.

c) When we __________ (subtract) 8 from both sides, we get the __________ (solution) y = 7.

Tāpiri (add) 3 to both sides

Tango (subtract) 3 from both sides

Whakanui (multiply) both sides by 5

Wehewehe (divide) both sides by 5

9. Which of these are correct solutions? (Check all that apply)

If x + 4 = 10, then x = 6

If 2x = 14, then x = 7

If x - 5 = 8, then x = 3

If 3x + 1 = 16, then x = 5
