Determine whether the following is a linear equation in one variable. a7+5m=12 3 b5n=-12 © 3x4 24 d 2p-7q= 14 2 The characteristics of the equation are as follows: + The variable is represented by one letter. + The highest power of the variable is 1. « Ithas the ‘=’ sign. Solution ‘a Yes, because there is a variable, m with power 1. b Yes, because there is a variable, m with power 1. ¢ No, because it isa linear expression without the ‘=’ sign. No, because there are two variables. ‘Scanned with CamSeannerPractice 1 Determine whether each ofthe folowing is a near equation in one variate (@) 4m-1=0 (@) B= 7-4 ©) 3-m=n yb (6) tk (@) 960 xg @ 4s th ag 2 Frm a linear equation for each of the following stuations or statements (a) Hamidis 5 years older than his brother, The ‘sum of thei ages is 30 years (b) The perimeter ofa square withthe length of 'sdes x cmis 18m, (©) A total of 100 pencils are put into 8 boxes.
