Linear equations are equations that represent straight lines on a graph. They are in the form of y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The goal in solving linear equations is to find the value of the variable that makes the equation true.
Solve for x in the equation 2x + 5 = 15.
Step 1: Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate x.
Step 2: Divide both sides by 2 to solve for x.
Step 3: Check the solution by substituting x = 5 back into the original equation.
Remember, practice is key to mastering linear equations. The more you practice, the better you will become at solving them.
Good luck!
