NCERT Class 7 Maths Chapter 4 Simple Equation begins with a fun game 'mind-reading' and introduces equation a new concept of algebra. So what is an equation? It is a condition on the variable such that two expressions in the variable should have equal value. The value of the variable for which an equation is satisfied is called the solution of the equation. In the equation, there is always an equality(=) sign. The equality sign shows that the value of the expression to the left-hand side (LHS) of the equality sign is equal to the value of the expression to the right-hand side (RHS) of the equality sign. For example, the equation 3x+ 7 =2x - 35 has the expression (3x + 7) on the left of the equality sign and (2x - 35) on the right of the equality sign. But it is not an equation if there is a sign other than the equality sign. For example, 3x + 5 > 75 is not an equation.

Example- The sum of three times a number and 11 is 32. Find the number.

Solution-  Assume that the unknown number is x, then three times the number is 3x. And the sum of 3x and 11 is 32. That is,  3x + 11 = 32.

We go stepwise to separate the variable x on the LHS of the equation. The LHS is 3x+11. We will first subtract 11 from it so that we get 3x. From this, in the next step, we will divide by 3 to get x. Remember we must do the same operation on both the sides of the equation. Therefore, subtracting 11 from both sides,

$\\3x + 11-11 = 32-11\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(Step \:1)\\\\3x=21$

Now divide both sides by 3,

$\\\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{21}{2}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(Step \:2)\\\\\:x=7\:\:Which\:is\:the\:solution$
