A linear equation is an algebraic equation in which each term is either a constant or the product of a constant and a variable. This variable is always single power form. A simple example of a linear equation with only one variable, x, may be written in the form: ax + b = 0, where a and b are constants and a ≠ 0.
These equations are called Linear Equations in one variable. Examples:
- 2x
- 5/4 (x-4)
- 3y-7
- x2 + 1 is an non-linear as the variable has power more than 1.
- 5xy + 10 is not a linear equation in one variable as there are two variables
