12/19/2020 Introduction to Linear Equations in One Variable

Variables and Constants

A constant is a value or number that never changes in an expression and it's constantly the
same. 
A variable is a letter representing some unknown value. Its value is not fixed, it can take any
value. On the other hand, the value of a constant is fixed.
For example, in the expression 4x + 7, 4 and 7 are the constants and x is a variable.
 

Algebraic Equation

The statement of equality of two algebraic expressions is an algebraic equation. It is of the


form P = Q, where P and Q are algebraic expressions.
6x + 5 and 5x + 3  are algebraic expressions. On equating the algebraic expressions we get an
algebraic equation.
6x + 5 = 5x + 3 is an algebraic equation.

Linear Equations in One Variable

A linear equation is an algebraic equation in which each term is either a constant or the
product of a constant and a single variable, where the highest power of the variable is one.
If the linear equation has only a single variable then it is called a linear equation in one variable.
For example, 7x + 4 = 5x + 8 is a linear equation in one variable.
