Overview

Linear equations form the foundation of algebra and are essential for solving real-world problems. A linear equation is an equation where the highest power of the variable is one. This chapter covers linear equations in one and two variables, their graphical representations, systems of equations, an

Key Concepts

An equation of the form ax

An equation of the form ax + b = 0 where a ≠ 0. Example: 2x + 3 = 7. Solution method: Use balance method (same operation on both sides) or transpositi

An equation of the form ax

An equation of the form ax + by + c = 0 where at least one of a or b is non-zero. Example: 2x + 3y = 12. Has infinitely many solutions as ordered pair

The graph of a linear equation

The graph of a linear equation in two variables is always a straight line. Method: Find at least two solution points, plot them, and draw the line. Ex

Two or more linear equations solved

Two or more linear equations solved simultaneously. Three solution types: (1) Unique solution - lines intersect at one point, (2) Infinite solutions -

Solve one equation for one variable

Solve one equation for one variable, substitute into the other equation. Example: From 2x + y = 7 and x - y = 2: From second equation y = x - 2. Subst
