Linear Equations

A linear equation is an equation in which the highest power of the variable is 1. Linear equations are

used to represent relationships where the change in one quantity is constant.

### Key Concepts:

- A linear equation is of the form ax + b = c, where x is the variable and a, b, and c are constants.

- Solving a linear equation means finding the value of x that makes the equation true.

- You can solve a linear equation by isolating the variable on one side of the equation.

### Solved Examples:

1. Solve for x: 2x + 5 = 11:

2x = 11 - 5 = 6, so x = 6 ÷ 2 = 3

2. Solve for y: 3y - 7 = 8:

3y = 8 + 7 = 15, so y = 15 ÷ 3 = 5

3. Solve for x: 4x - 3 = 9:

4x = 9 + 3 = 12, so x = 12 ÷ 4 = 3

4. Solve for z: 5z + 2 = 17:

5z = 17 - 2 = 15, so z = 15 ÷ 5 = 3

5. Solve for x: 7x - 4 = 24:

7x = 24 + 4 = 28, so x = 28 ÷ 7 = 4

### Real-World Applications:


- Linear equations are used in finance to calculate profit and loss, such as finding the break-even

point where total revenue equals total cost.

- In physics, linear equations are used to calculate motion, such as the relationship between speed,

distance, and time.

- In construction, linear equations are used to determine measurements and quantities needed for

materials.
