What is the general form of a linear equation with n variables?

  • $a_{1}x_{1}+ ... +a_{n}x_{n}+b=0$ (correct)
  • $a_{1}x_{1}+ ... +a_{n}x_{n}=b$
  • $a_{1}x_{1}+ ... +a_{n}x_{n}+b=1$
  • $a_{1}x_{1}+ ... +a_{n}x_{n}=0$
  • What are the solutions of a linear equation?

  • Values that make the equality false when substituted for the unknowns
  • Values that don't affect the equation
  • Values that make the equality true when substituted for the unknowns (correct)
