The Tudors was a dynasty that ruled England from 1485 to 1603. The Tudor dynasty consisted of Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I. During the Tudor’s reign people were very unhygienic and short. During the reign over England people thought that the Earth was flat  and ships would fall off if they went to far but others speculated otherwise and were proven correct later in the Modern Era. One of the most prolific  and longest wars during the Tudors reign was the War of the Roses (White Rose House of York and the Red Rose House of Lancaster) which lasted 30 years.

For my Choose Your Own Maths Presentation I chose Algebra equations. I chose Algebra equations because I wanted to try something new and challenging. My presentation will show you how to solve a simple equation. The question that I’m going to teach you how to solve is: What is the value of Z in the equation Z×250=40000? 

Z×250=40000 First we need to make use of the 2 numbers that we already know: Z×250=40000→ 40000?250 But we also need to work out the operation that we are going to use which will be the opposite operation to the one in the number sentence Z×250=40000. Here’s another example: Z+7=16→16?7=Z opposite operation to plus(+) is minus(-)  16-7=Z so 16-7=9 so that means 9=Z. Now back to our main problem. We needed to find the opposite operation to the one in the number sentence Z×250=40000.The operation in the number sentence is times so the opposite operation is divide.(÷).Z×250=40000→ 40000?250→40000÷250=Z.40000÷250=Z will give us the answer to the question. 

40000÷250=Z→40000÷250=160 Z=160.The value of Z in the equation Z×250=40000 is 160.
