What is a Linear Equation?
 A linear equation is an equation in which the highest power of the
variable is always 1. It is also known as a one-degree equation.
 The standard form of a linear equation in one variable is of the form
aX + B = 0. Here, X is a variable, a is a coefficient and B is constant.
The standard form of a linear equation in two variables is of the form
aX + bY = C. Here, x and y are variables, A and B are coefficients
and C is a constant.
The standard form of a linear equation in
one variable
 the form is aX + B = 0. Here, X is a variable, a is a coefficient and B
is constant.
 The graph of a linear equation always forms a straight line. (This is
the reason why it is named as a 'linear equation).
 Such as
 X+5=10
 4Y=16
Examples
 Example 1: The sum of two numbers is 44. If one number is 10 more than the other, find
the numbers by framing a linear equation.
 Solution:
 Let the number be x, so the other number is x + 10. We know that the sum of both the
numbers is 44. Therefore, the linear equation can be framed as,
 x + x + 10 = 44. This results in, 2x + 10 = 44. Now, let us solve the equation by isolating
the variable on one side and by bringing the constants on the other side. This means 2x =
44 - 10. By simplifying RHS, we get, 2x = 34, so the value of x is 17. This means, one
number is 17 and the other number is 17 + 10 = 27.
 Answer: Therefore, the two numbers are 17 and 27.
 Example 2: Six times of a number is equal to 48. Form a linear
equation and find the unknown number.
 Solution: Let the unknown number be x. Six times of this number is
equal to 48 means 6x = 48.
 So, this linear equation can be solved to find the value of x which is
the unknown number. 6x = 48 means x = 48/6 = 8.
 Answer: Therefore, the unknown number is 8.
 Example 3: Solve the given linear equation: 5x - 95 = 75.
 Solution: The given equation is 5x - 95 = 75.
 ⇒ 5x = 75 + 95
 ⇒ 5x = 170
 ⇒ x = 34
 Answer: Therefore, the value of x is 34
Solve the following
 12+Y=18

 M-9= -20

 D/8=5
 3X+1=10

 2X–3=9

 5Y+2 =17
 2 + 3x = 23

 3Y–8= -2
First H.W
 12Y–12=–42

 84= 5-2y
