Linear equations connect the algebraic expression with another algebraic expression or numerical value with the equality sign(=).
 
Let us recall some basic notations of algebraic expression:
  • A variable is a symbol for an unknown value. It is usually denoted in a letter like x, y, a, b, etc., The word 'variable' means something that can vary, i.e. change. The value of a variable is not fixed. It can take different value.
  • Constants are the terms in the algebraic expression that contain only numbers. It is constantly the same(cannot change).
    Example:
    4, \frac{2}{7}, \sqrt{5}, -0.8, etc.,
  • An algebraic expression is a mathematical expression consist of variables, constants, and the terms in the algebraic expressions are connected by operations.
    Example:
    2x-2, 2x+4, 4y etc.,
Example:
2x + 4 =10 is the simple linear equation.
 
Here the expressions 2x+4 and 10 are connected by equality-sign(=).
Important!
  • In a linear equation, the expression in the left-hand side (LHS) and the expression in the right-hand side (RHS) are equal.
  • The value of the variable that satisfies the equation is known as the linear equation solution.
Example:
Check whether the value given in the brackets is a solution to the given linear equation or not: 7n + 5 = 19, (n = 2).
A variable value is a solution to the given equation if LHS = RHS is replaced in the equation by the variable value.
Substitute n=2 in the LHS equation, as:
 
7n +5 =7(2)+5 = 19.
 
The LHS value is 19, and the RHS value is 19.
 
n=2 is a solution to the linear equation 7n+5=19, since both sides are equal.
