LINEAR EQUATIONS A linear equation is an equation which contains a pronumeral raised to the power of 1
Solving linear equations • To solve a linear equation we have to find a value of the pronumeral which makes the equation a true statement. • It is solved in the reverse order that the equation is built up.
Solving linear equations If thepronumeralappears in the equation more than once, we must collect terms containing the unknown on one side of the equation and all the other terms on the other side.
Solving equations with brackets If the equation contains brackets, they should be expanded first OR Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient in front of the brackets
Solving equations containing fractions How many terms are there in the above equation? What is the denominator of each term? What is the lowest common denominator (LCD)?
