L.O. To use the balancing method to solve linear equations

I created this worksheet for the highest attaining pupils in my year 5 maths group - it contains 10 linear equations which require the pupil to find the value of the letter by balancing the equation.
There is an example broken down into steps at the top of the worksheet.

I have also attached the 'steps to success' that my pupils liked to refer back to as a first point of call when they were stuck! There are 2 on one page to save on photocopying!

Answers:
1) t = 5
2) x = 18
3) y = 11
4) a = 5
5) u = 9
6) u = 14
7) t = 1.5
8) t = 0.5
9) n = 7
10) x = 5
