What objectives set d means

You practise short Core Maths questions that check basic algebra, sequences, and straight line ideas. This helps you answer objective items quickly and avoid losing marks on simple steps.

What you will practise

  • Solve one-step and two-step linear equations
  • Find the next term in number sequences
  • Calculate gradients from two given points
  • Work with simple WASSCE-style objective questions

Before you start

You should be comfortable with basic arithmetic, using brackets, and simple number patterns. It also helps to know ordered pairs and how to subtract fractions or whole numbers accurately.

Worked example

One question from this skill's own question bank, shown with its full working.

Question

Solve for x: 5x − 2 = 3x + 8.

  • 3
  • 5
  • 6
  • 10
Answer: 5

Working: 5x − 3x = 8 + 2, so 2x = 10 and x = 5.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Changing the wrong sign when moving terms across the equals sign.
  • Forgetting to apply the same operation to both sides of an equation.
  • Counting sequence terms by position instead of using the common difference.
  • Swapping the coordinates when finding gradient from two points.
