Study Notes

Linear Equations

Linear equations play a fundamental role in algebra, particularly in solving problems involving measurements such as area of geometric shapes like squares and rectangles. These equations consist of two variables connected by an equal sign with one variable standing alone on either side of the equation. Here's how you can solve them using one of their most basic forms: ax + b = c, where x is the unknown value, and a, b, and c are known values.

To solve this type of equation, follow these steps:

  1. Isolate the variable: In the given equation, try to isolate the variable (x) to one side of the equation. For example, if x represents some quantity, say distance, it might appear in more than one place in the equation; your goal is to move all these instances together so they only appear once. This may involve adding or subtracting numbers from both sides of the equation until one term containing the variable is isolated.

    Example: If we have the equation (3x - 7 = 8), we would want to isolate the (x): [ 3x - 7 \equiv {\color{blue} 3} \ 3x - 7 + 7 \equiv{\color{green}{7}} \ 3x \equiv_{10} \ x \equiv_3 ]

  2. Calculate the result: After successful isolation, apply inverse operations to find the actual value of the variable. Continuing our previous example: [ 3x \equiv_3 \ \frac{3x}{\color{yellow} 3} \equiv_{\frac{1}{3}}\text{(since } \frac{a}{b} \cdot \frac{c}{d} = \frac{ac}{bd}\text{)} \ x \equiv_1 ]

In conclusion, understanding and working with linear equations requires mastery of basic arithmetic operations along with the ability to manipulate expressions without changing their formal mathematical attributes. As you practice more complex scenarios, keep in mind that every step must leave the original equality true and the final answer correct regardless of which variable name appears on either side of the equal sign.
