Class 8 Chapter 2 Maths Important Formulas

This document discusses important formulas and methods for solving linear equations in one variable. It defines a linear equation as an equality involving variables of the form ax + b = 0, where a and b are real numbers and a is not equal to 0. It explains that the left side of the equality is the left hand side (LHS) and the right side is the right hand side (RHS). Linear equations in one variable have exactly one solution. The document outlines various methods for solving linear equations, including transposing numbers to isolate variables, combining like terms, and using the least common multiple to remove fractions.

Chapter 2 - Linear Equations in One Variable

i
Algebraic Equation

rth
An algebraic equation is an equality involving variables. It says that the value of the expression
on one side of the equality sign is equal to the value of the expression on the other side.

What is Linear equation in one Variable


We will restrict the above equation with two conditions

or
ya
An equation of the form ax + b = 0, where a and b are real numbers, such that a is
not equal to zero, is called a linear equation in one variables

Important points to Note

1 These all equation contains the equality (=) sign.

2 The expression on the left of the equality sign is the Left Hand Side (LHS). The
expression on the right of the equality sign is the Right Hand Side (RHS)

3 In an equation the values of the expressions on the LHS and RHS are equal. This

happens to be true only for certain values of the variable. These values are the
solutions of the equation

4 We assume that the two sides of the equation are balanced. We perform the same
mathematical operations on both sides of the equation, so that the balance is not
disturbed. We get the solution after generally performing few steps

5 A linear equation in one variable has only one solution

Numbers to the side where all number are present. We

know the sign of the number changes when we transpose
it to other side

2) Now you will have an equation have variable on one


side and number on other side. Add/subtract on both the
side to get single term

3) Now divide or multiply on both the side to get the value


ya of the variable

2 Solving Equations having the 1) Here we Transpose (changing the side of the number)
Variable on both Sides both the variable and Numbers to the side so that one side
contains only the number and other side contains only the
variable. We know the sign of the number changes when
we transpose it to other side. Same is the case with
Variable

3 Solving Complex Equations 1) Take the LCM of the denominator of both the LHS and
(having number in denominator) RHS
having the Variable on both
Sides 2) Multiple the LCM on both the sides, this will reduce the
number without denominator and we can solve using the
method described above
