    Linear Equations

    Linear equations are mathematical statements involving variables and constants, where the expressions on each side of the equal sign are equal. There are two types: single variable linear equations involving one variable, and double (or two) variable linear equations involving two variables. Standard forms exist for representing these equations. Solutions to linear equations involve isolating the variable(s) on one side of the equal sign. Methods for solving systems of two linear equations simultaneously include elimination by substitution, where one variable is eliminated by substituting the expression for it from one equation into the other equation.

    Linear Equations

    An equation is a mathematical statement, which has an equal sign (=) between the
    algebraic expressions. Linear equations are the equations of the first degree.

    Single Variable Linear Equation Double Variable Linear Equation

    3x + 5 = 11 2x + 3y = 15

    Linear equations are a combination of constants and variables.

    The standard form of a linear equation in one variable is represented as ax + b = 0,


    where, a ≠ 0 and x is the variable.

    The standard form of a double variable linear equation is represented as ax + by + c =


    0, where, a ≠ 0, b ≠ 0, x and y are the variables.

    Solution of Linear Equations in One Variable

    Both sides of the equation are supposed to be balanced for solving a linear equation.

    Solve (2x – 10)/2 = 3(x – 1)

    Step 1: Clear the fraction


    x – 5 = 3(x – 1)

    Step 2: Simplify Both sides equations x – 5 = 3x – 3


    x = 3x + 2

    Step 3: Isolate x – 3x = 2
    -2x = 2
    x = -1

    Solve:

    1. 5x + 15 = 0

    2. 3x + 18 = 0

    3. 1/3 x = 5/12

    6. The sum of two consecutive numbers is 93. What are the numbers? (46, 47)

    7. When the tax on cigarettes was increased by 5%, the price of a certain pack became
    $7.35. What was the original price? ($7.00)

    8. Two times a number is equal to six less than three times the number. What is the
    number? (6)

    9. The sum of two consecutive even numbers is 46. Find the numbers. (22, 24)

    Solution of Linear Equations in Two Variable

    In this method, the elimination of the variable can be performed by substituting the value
    of another variable in an equation. Hence, this method is called the elimination by
    substitution method.

    Let us assume the system of linear equations:

    2x + 3y = 13 and, x - 2y = -4

    Given:
    2x + 3y = 13 ... (1)
    x - 2y = -4 ...(2)

    The equation (2) can be written as


    x = 2y-4 ... (3)

    Now, in equation (1) eliminate the variable x by substituting the equation (3). Hence,
    equation (1) becomes

    2(2y - 4) + 3y = 13

    Now, apply the distributive property for the above equation,

    4y - 8 + 3y = 13

    Now, solve the above equation for the variable y

    7y – 8 = 13

    7y = 13 + 8
    7y = 21

    y= 21/7

    y= 3

    Hence, the value of y is 3.

    Now, substituting y=3 in the equation (2), we get

    x- 2(3) = -4

    x – 6=-4

    x = -4+6

    x=2

    Therefore, the value of x is 2.

    Hence, the solution for the system of linear equations is:

    x = 2 and y=3

    Solve using Substitution method:

    1. 2x + 3y = 9 and x – y = 3
    2. 4x + 6y = 10 and 2x – 3y = 8
    3. x + y = 24 and 2x – y = -6
