The image you provided is the cover of a mathematics textbook titled "Cambridge Lower Secondary Mathematics Student's Book 7" by Dr. Toh Tin Lam. This book is published by Marshall Cavendish Education and endorsed by Cambridge Assessment International Education for full syllabus coverage.

Problem Description:

Since the image only shows the cover of the book, there is no specific problem to solve directly from this image. However, if you are looking for guidance on how to approach problems in this textbook or need help with a particular topic covered in "Cambridge Lower Secondary Mathematics," I can provide general advice or explain concepts related to lower secondary mathematics.

General Approach to Solving Problems in Lower Secondary Mathematics:

Lower secondary mathematics typically covers topics such as:

1. Number and Algebra
- Arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division)
- Fractions, decimals, and percentages
- Basic algebraic expressions and equations
- Ratio and proportion

2. Geometry and Measures
- Properties of shapes (e.g., triangles, quadrilaterals)
- Angles and lines
- Perimeter, area, and volume
- Symmetry and transformations

3. Statistics and Probability
- Data handling (tables, charts, graphs)
- Averages (mean, median, mode)
- Simple probability concepts

4. Problem-Solving Strategies
- Understanding the problem
- Planning a solution
- Executing the plan
- Checking the solution

Example Problem and Solution:

Let’s assume you have a problem from the textbook that involves basic arithmetic and algebra. Here’s an example:

#### Problem:
Solve for \( x \) in the equation:
\[
3x + 5 = 20
\]

#### Solution:
1. Isolate the term with \( x \):
Subtract 5 from both sides of the equation:
\[
3x + 5 - 5 = 20 - 5
\]
Simplify:
\[
3x = 15
\]

2. Solve for \( x \):
Divide both sides by 3:
\[
\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{15}{3}
\]
Simplify:
\[
x = 5
\]

3. Verify the solution:
Substitute \( x = 5 \) back into the original equation:
\[
3(5) + 5 = 15 + 5 = 20
\]
The equation holds true, so the solution is correct.

Final Answer:

\[
\boxed{x = 5}
\]
