Linear Equations – Concepts and Applications

Introduction
Linear equations are algebraic expressions with variables raised to the power of 1. They
form straight-line graphs and are foundational in algebra.

Definitions
- Linear Equation in One Variable: ax + b = 0
- Linear Equation in Two Variables: ax + by + c = 0

Solutions
- One Variable: Solve by isolating x.
- Two Variables: Solve using:
1. Substitution Method
2. Elimination Method
3. Cross Multiplication Method

Graphical Method
Each solution corresponds to a point (x, y) on a line.

Applications
- Age problems
- Investment planning
- Geometry-based word problems

Examples
1. Solve: 2x + 3 = 11 → x = 4
2. Solve: 2x + 3y = 12, x - y = 2 → x = 3, y = 1

Conclusion
Linear equations are used in everyday problem-solving and real-world scenarios involving
constant rates or relationships.
