Linear Equations Block 43 Linear Equations Linear equations are the simplest equations that you deal with. A linear equation is a mathematical expression that has an equal sign and linear expressions. Linear Equations A variable is a number that you don't know, often represented by "x" or "y”. A linear expression is a mathematical statement that performs functions of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Steps to Solve Linear Equations Linear equations are the simplest equations that you deal with. Steps to Solve Linear Equations 1. Combine like terms. 2. Isolate terms that contain the variable you wish to solve for. 3. Isolate the variable you wish to solve for. 4. Substitute your answer into the original equation to check that it works. Combine Like Terms Like terms are terms that contain the same variable or group of variables raised to the same exponent, regardless of their numerical coefficient. Example: 3z + 5 + 2z = 12 + 3z Combine Like Terms Example: 3z + 5 + 2z = 12 + 4z 3z + 2z + 5 = 12 + 4z 5z + 5 = 12 + 4z 5z -4z + 5 = 12 + 4z -4z z + 5 = 12 Isolate the terms with the variable Example: 3z + 5 + 2z = 12 + 4z z + 5 -5 = 12 -5 z =7 Check Solution Example: 3z + 5 + 2z = 12 + 4z z=7 3z + 5 + 2z = 12 + 4z 3(7) + 5 + 2(7) = 12 + 4(7)21+ 5 + 14 = 12 + 28 40 = 40 Practice Solving Linear Equations 38 = z + 15 Practice Solving Linear Equations x + 3 = 8x + 19 Practice Solving Linear Equations x 6 3 Practice Solving Linear Equations 2 x8 5 Graphing Linear Equations: T-Chart Steps to solving a Linear Equation using a TChart.

This equation is one example of a general class of equations called linear equations in two variables. The two variables are usually x and y. Linear Equations in 2 Variables A specific straight line can be determined by specifying at least two distinct points that the line passes through or it can be determined by giving one point that it passes through and somehow describing how “tilted” the line is. Slope Intercept The one point is called the intercept or y-intercept. The “tilt” is called the slope. Slope The slope of a line is a measure of how “tilted” the line is. For example, a highway sign might say something like “6% grade ahead.” Using Slope-Intercept The slope-intercept form is the most frequent way used to express an equation of a line. If an equation is in slope-intercept form, it is easy to graph. Slope-Intercept form is y=mx+b. m is slope and b is y-intercept Using Slope-Intercept The slope-intercept form is the most frequent way used to express an equation of a line.
