1 Linear Equations1 Linear Equations

EquationEquation :: - A mathematical statement which indicates two algebraic expressions are - A mathematical statement which indicates two algebraic expressions are equal equal Example:Example: Y = 2X + 3 Y = 2X + 3

Algebraic expressionsAlgebraic expressions : - A mathematical statement indicating that numerical quantities : - A mathematical statement indicating that numerical quantities are linked by mathematical operations. are linked by mathematical operations. Example:Example: X + 2 X + 2

Linear equations: - Linear equations: - are equations with a variable & a constant with degree one equations with a variable & a constant with degree one. - - Are equations whose terms (the parts separated by +, -, = signs) Are equations whose terms (the parts separated by +, -, = signs) - - Are a constant, or a constant times one variable to the first power Are a constant, or a constant times one variable to the first power Example:Example: 2X – 3Y = 7 2X – 3Y = 7

However 2X + 3XY = 7 isn’t a linear equation, because 3XY is aHowever 2X + 3XY = 7 isn’t a linear equation, because 3XY is a constant times the constant times the product of 2 variables of 2 variables.
