Today’s lesson focused on solving equations involving brackets, building on previous knowledge of expanding linear expressions. Students learned to rearrange equations to isolate the variable ‘x’, using steps such as applying the distributive property, combining like terms, and performing operations on both sides of the equation. Key examples included solving equations like (4x = 16), resulting in (x = 4), and expanding and solving (9(x-2) – 1 = 26) to find (x = 6).
