Some examples about linear equation

Solution

Here are five examples of linear equations, ranging from simple to slightly more complex:

Example 1:

Equation:
2x+3=72x + 3 = 7

Solution:

  1. Subtract 3 from both sides:
    2x=42x = 4
  2. Divide both sides by 2:
    x=2x = 2

Example 2:

Equation:
5y4=115y - 4 = 11

Solution:

  1. Add 4 to both sides:
    5y=155y = 15
  2. Divide both sides by 5:
    y=3y = 3

Example 3:

Equation:
3x+2=4x13x + 2 = 4x - 1

Solution:

  1. Subtract 3x3x from both sides:
    2=x12 = x - 1
  2. Add 1 to both sides:
    x=3x = 3

Example 4:

Equation:
6z3=2z+96z - 3 = 2z + 9

Solution:

  1. Subtract 2z2z from both sides:
    4z3=94z - 3 = 9
  2. Add 3 to both sides:
    4z=124z = 12
  3. Divide both sides by 4:
    z=3z = 3

Example 5:

Equation:
x2+5=3x4\frac{x}{2} + 5 = \frac{3x}{4}

Solution:

  1. Multiply the entire equation by 4 to eliminate the fractions:
    2x+20=3x2x + 20 = 3x
  2. Subtract 2x2x from both sides:
    20=x20 = x
