Introduction to Linear Equations

A linear equation has the form ax + b = c, where x is the unknown. The goal is to isolate x and find its value.

3

Properties You’ll Use

Important properties: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division preserve equality. Apply them to both sides to keep equations balanced.

4

Solving Step by Step

To solve, identify like terms, then perform the same operation on both sides to isolate x. Always check your solution by substituting back.

5

Example 1: Simple Addition

Solve 2x + 5 = 15. Subtract 5 from both sides, then divide by 2. Result: x = 5.

6

Example 2: Moving Terms

Solve 3x − 4 = 2x + 7. Move 2x to the left and 4 to the right, then divide. Result: x = 11.

7

Example 3: Coefficients on Both Sides

Solve 5x + 3 = 3x + 15. Subtract 3x from both sides, then subtract 3, then divide by 2. Result: x = 6.

8

Special Case: No Solution

If you reach a false statement like 0 = 5, the equation has no solution.

9

Special Case: Infinite Solutions

If you end with a true statement like 0 = 0, the equation has infinitely many solutions.

10

Practice Problem A

Solve 4x − 2 = 3x + 6. Move terms and solve: x = 8.

11

Practice Problem B

Solve 7( x − 1 ) = 7x − 7. This simplifies to 0 = 0, so infinitely many solutions.
