Algebra

[jennyjoan]

I can still remember passing my French, Domestic Science, English literature, language and Arts exam and another one?? but for the love of me (did pass Algebra) wouldn't have a clue re one basic test. Oh got Irish language - again can't remember much of that - but absolutely have a great memory of French maybe cos I loved the subject. Am left school 50 years now - Jesus I sound like an oul woman - funk me pink.

We might think we've forgotten a lot and couldn't pass a test but we have soaked up the knowledge and use if subconsciously everyday.

No Mamy - googles Algebra there and I am absolutely stumped - anyhoo - I'll not worry as I wont be doing it.

SECTION 1
1) 17 + A = 20

2) B + 7 = 29

3) C – 5 = 12

4) D + 9 = 18

5) 27 – E = 19

6) F – 8 = 24

7) G + 17 = 39

8) 50 – H = 32

9) I + 73 = 104

ALGEBRA

SECTION 2
1) J X 7 = 63

2) 54 ÷ K = 6

3) L ÷ 7 = 7

4) 6 X M = 72

5) N X 8 = 96

6) O ÷ 4 = 32

7) 9 X P = 108

8) Q ÷ 3 = 33

9) 90 ÷ R = 6


SECTION 3

1) 3S + 7 =22

2) 22 – 4T = 10

3) 5U + 7 = 32

4) 12 + 3V = 30

5) 6W ÷ 2 = 15

6) 60 ÷ 2X = 10

7) 2Y + 5Y = 42

8) 4Z + 10 = 30


Have a go at these Jenny Joan.

I thought you meant tests generally, sorry.

[jennyjoan]

I won't try them all Tilly but have got your gist.

Would the first answers 3, 22 and 7 - would you correct that for me. Thanks - maybe am not too bad after all.

jennyj. you are using algebra all day every day subconsciously. When you walk up a flight of stairs your brain is doing the calculation of height and reach of your step and the likely outcome if you don't.

[Tilly2]

That's interesting, Togo. When I go upstairs I am also consciously thinking, 'What am I going up the stairs for?' When I get there, I can't remember. So I come back down. It's the bane of my life!

Sect1. 3,22,17,9,8,32,22,18,31. Sect2. 9,9,49,12,12,128,12,99,15.
Sect3. 5,3,5,6,5,3,6,5.

[Tilly2]

Aww!. You've spoiled it now. :-(

LOL Tills, when I was at primary school it was called mental arithmetic, so that is what I did.
