Problem Solving
Linear equations are often used to solve practical problems that have an unknown quantity. We use a suitable pronumeral to represent the unknown quantity, translate the information given in the problem into an equation, and then solve the equation using the skills acquired earlier in this chapter.
Example 11
If a number is increased by 8, the result is 25. Find the number.
Solution:
Let x be the number. Increasing x by 8 gives x + 8, which we are told is 25. Therefore, x + 8 = 25. Subtract 8 from both sides to find x = 17. So, the number is 17.

5 .This is called the greatest common factor.
You can list all the factors(ways to divide) of each number and find the biggest one.
15'1,3,5,15
10'1,2,5,10
The greatest they share is 5
Y=-x+8
gradient of the parallel line is the same as the gradient of the line given, which is -1
to find the y-intercept, sub the values (9,-1) into the equation we are finding which is y=-x+c
