INTRODUCTION
Imagine that you are taking a taxi while on vacation.
You know that the taxi service charges ₹90 to pick
your family up from your hotel and another ₹15 per
km for the trip. After the completion of your trip
the taxi driver gave you a bill of ₹1440. If we take
“x" to represent the distance in km travelled, the
linear equation would be:
15x + 90 = 1440
A statement which states that two algebraic
expressions are equal is called an equation.
Some more examples:
3X 2 5 X 5
3x 2 y 8
6xx
9
The equation involving only one variable in first order is
called a linear equation in one variable.
3x 5 0
8y2
7 a 15 3a
A LINER EQUATION IS ALSO CALLED A FIRST DEGREE
EQUATION AS THE
HIGHEST POWER OF VARIABLE IS 1.
EXAMPLE OF LINER EQUATIONS :
x+4=-2
2x + 5 = 10
5 – 3x = 8
Formation of Equation From
Statement
A number increased by 8 is equal to 15 .Find the number.
Solution: let be a number ‘x’
Given ,the number increased by 8 equal 15.
=>x+8 = 15
=>x= 15 -8
=> x=7
Formation of statement from equation
2x+5 = 10
Two times a number increased by 5 is equals to 10
x-5 = 12
Five subtracted from a number is equals to 12

PROPERTIES OF AN EQUATION
•If same quantity is added to both sides of the equation, the sums are equal.
Thus: x=7 => x+a=7+a
•If same quantity is subtracted from both sides of an equation, the differences are
equal
Thus: x=7 => x-a=7-a
•If both the sides of an equation are multiplied by the same quantity, the products
are equal.
Thus: x=7 => ax=7a
•If both the sides of an equation are divided by the same quantity, the quotients are
equal.
Thus: x=7 => x÷a=7÷a
3.To solve an equation of the form ax=b
Q. Solve 3x=9
Solution: 3x=9
=> 3x/3= 9/3
=> x = 3
4. To solve an equation of the form x/a=b
Q. Solve x/2 = 6
Solution: x/2 = 6
=> x = 6x2
=> x = 12
SHORT- CUT METHOD (SOLVING AN EQUATION BY TRANSPOSING TERMS)
1.In an equation, an added term is transposed (taken) from one side to the other, it is subtracted.
i.e., x+4=10
=> x=10-4=6 (4 is transposed)
2. In an equation, a subtracted term is transposed to the other side, it is added.
i.e., y-6=5
=>y=5+6=11 (6 is transposed)
3. In an equation, a term in multiplication is transposed to the other side, it is divided.
3x=12
=>x=12/3=4 (3 is transposed)
4. In an equation a term in division is taken to the other side it is multiplied. i.e
=> y=6×4=24 (4 is transposed)
To Solve a Linear Equation by using more than one
property
Solve: 3x+8=14
Solution: 3x=14-8 (transposing 8)
=> 3x=6(transposing 3)
=> x=6/3
=>x=2
(2) 2a-3=5
Solution: 2a-3=5
=> 2a=5+3 (transposing 3)
=> 2a=8
=> a= 8/2 (transposing2)
=> a=4
Solving Equation with variables in both sides
Transpose the terms containing the variable, to one side and the constants to
the other side.
E.g.: (1) Solve 10y-3=7y+9
Solution: 10y-7y = 9+3 (transposing 7y to the left & 3 to the right)
=> 3y = 12
=> y = 12/3
=> y = 4
(2) Solve: 2(x-5) + 3(x-2) = 8+7(x-4)
Solution:
2x-10+3x-6 = 8+7x-28(removing the brackets)
=> 5x-16 = 7x-20
=> 5x-7x = -20+16
=> -2x = -4
=> x = -4/-
=> 2
x = 2
EXAMPLES
Q1. Solve x+4=10 (2 Marks)
Solution: x+4=10
Þx+4-4=10-4 (subtracting 4 from both the sides) [1]
Þx=6 [1]
Q2. Solve y-6=5 (2 Marks)
Solution: y-6=5
Þ y-6+6=5+6 (Adding 6 in both sides) [1]
=> y=11 [1]
Q3. Solve 3(x+5)=18 (4 Marks)
Solution: 3(x+5)=18
=> 3x+15= 18 (Transposing 15 ) [1]
=> 3x = 18 -15 [1]
=> 3x = 3 [1]
=> x= 3/3 (Transposing 3) [0.5]
=> x = 1 [0.5]
